Optimizing the urban and spatial planning processes through Cultural Heritage digitalization.

The Cultural Heritage has gained high value in the development of territorial strategies. In this aim new planning processes could be able to face the informational asymmetry due to the existence of unstructured data, lack of standardised information, and inner conflict among different stakeholders. This paper intends to demonstrate the importance of an ICT-based innovation process on the reconstruction and valorisation of the Archaeological Heritage. Indeed, the digitization of cultural data could be able to generate a direct impact in shortening the cultural chain and making directly available data and information. This knowledge could support the urban and spatial planning processes, providing also opportunities for new tourist strategy. Moreover, this findings could facilitate the standardisation and repeatability of the procedure.
