The research project Mezzaluna Alpina (Alpine Crescent) explores the social, economic and territorial transformations of the Cuneo Alpine arc, starting from the complex interactions between urban and mountain areas. By integrating quantitative analyses of existing data and qualitative field surveys, the project aims to understand the daily practices of life, work and mobility, as well as the perceptions and aspirations of the inhabitants of the metro-mountain territory. The report Mezzaluna Alpina – Dinamiche e prospettive dei territori metromontani (Alpine Crescent – Dynamics and prospects of mountain-urban areas) is the result of a structured process of listening to and analysing territorial needs, aimed at supporting the definition of strategic scenarios for the sustainable development and enhancement of the resources of the Alpine Crescent.
