It brings an up-to-date analysis of the complex interactions between mega-events and remote areas, both in terms of potentials for regeneration and risks for further segregation. Remote areas are traditionally characterized by socio-economic and spatial disparities. On the one hand, they benefit from attractive features, such as environmental and landscape resources, food and wine production, and energy production. On the other, they are by definition fragile environments, disrupted by the contradictions of international tourism, climate change, limited infrastructures and services, rural abandonment, and demographic decline. This book offers credible solutions for the sustainable development of mountainous regions as a legacy of Winter Olympics. It is an essential resource for scholars, professionals, and policy-makers in the fields of urban planning and design, architecture design, geography, sociology, and economics. Andrea Arcidiacono (PhD) is Associate Professor at the Politecnico of Milano (DAStU), where he coordinates the BSc Program in Urban Planning, and is a board member of the PhD Program in Urban Planning, Design and Policy. He is Scientific Director of the Land Take Research Centre (CRCS) and, since 2016, Vice-President of the National Institute of Planning (INU). He is a member of the editorial board of the journal Urbanistica and authored over 150 scientific publications. Stefano Di Vita (PhD) is Researcher in Urban Planning at the Politecnico di Milano (DAStU). His research focuses on spatial dynamics of economic transition (including temporary events and digital innovation), planning processes, tools, and mechanisms of urban change (from big projects to micro-scale regeneration), and spatial phenomena, strategies, and actions targeted to international repositioning and regional rescaling of cities. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal Territorio and authored over 70 scientific publications. 410 0$aMega Event Planning,$x2633-5867 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aUrban policy 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aUrban Policy 606 $aArchitecture 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aUrban policy. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 14$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aUrban Policy. 615 24$aArchitecture. 676 $a796.98 702 $aArcidiacono$b Andrea 702 $aDi Vita$b Stefano 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910857790703321 996 $aBeyond the 2026 Winter Olympic Games$94266571 997 $aUNINA
