Abstract
This research investigates the heritage politics in the city-centres, seen as a process of standardization of a certain model of a “responsible society”, where the protection of the urban heritage is supposed to guarantee the necessary requisites for inhabiting the centres. By taking as case study the centre of Naples, Unesco World Heritage since 1995, it is possible to study the heritage policies carried out since 2009 both as resulting from a standardization of the urban planning, and as the reproduction of a social norm that delegitimizes the working classes, to the benefit of élites and tourists , demonstrating the tensions between top-down heritage politics, carried out by the institutions, and the appropriation of the urban heritage from the bottom.
