Since the Victorian era, The United Kingdom, has distinguished itself for its social approach to the issues of living and the use of spaces dedicated to work and private time, in a continuous evolution, passing through the subsequent phases of industrial development.
The models and changes faced by British society are certainly a source of inspiration because they bring together our realities, particularly in the relations between the historic city and the city beyond the walls and between city and countryside. The United Kingdom has a very varied population distribution, similar to the Italian one: densely populated metropolises, not only London, and rural areas. suspended between population decline and activation of enhancement processes. As in our country, the local community is the core of life in rural areas. And it’s the same for the UK, a country that gathers around volunteers and pub, which we call bars or cafes. Beyond stereotypes, therefore, analyzing the process of urban and social regeneration in the United Kingdom can be very useful, especially being able to have as guides philanthropic and non-profit realities that develop projects on the national and international territory at the highest level, with actions of communities inclusion, heritage protection, access to sustainable housing and the right to education, always guided by highly advanced methods of monitoring and evaluation.
