ReAlps was born as an acronym and a vision. The project aims to regenerate forgotten territories, spaces, and structures through collective and sustainable practices, combining creativity, listening, and care. A scalable and replicable approach, capable of adapting to different Alpine contexts, with the aim of restoring value to what has been marginalized and building new geographies of possibility.
Re as in regeneration, a complex process made up of several concrete and innovative actions.
Alps as a territory of action: the Alpine arc, currently marked by abandoned infrastructure, depopulation, and environmental emergencies, but also rich in potential to be reactivated.
