Rethinking disused places and spaces, to transform the metropolis and supply new existence to spaces. This changed into mentioned on the Trento Festival of Economics inside the panel “Regenerating places to regenerate groups: the care of not unusual items as a tool for participation”.
On the participatory course of Super Trento, so that you can lead to the design of the floor freed through the burial of the tracks among Scalo Filzi and Muse, spoke Teresa Pedretti, partner of the Collettivo Campomarzio. “Administrations and residents have to begin to assume that the very procedures of advent and collaboration of common items can already be a common properly. It’s now not just about control an asset however to coordinate and capitalize on the implementation manner,” stated Pedretti.
Eugenio Petz, head of the Participation and Active Citizenship Office of the municipality of Milano (remotely) centered on the “collaboration agreements”, an administrative tool already used by 800 municipalities in Italy. “We found out from Bologna and very lively and also Verona – said Petz. – Collaboration agreements are a tool through which the management does no longer carry out its function in an authoritative way, however makes use of techniques of co-making plans with interventions inspired by means of energetic citizenship”.
The position of citizens who recognise and live the place is therefore essential. And it’s no longer just a rely of entrusting them with care and management of the greenery, however of arriving at the co-use of spaces and sports that the Administrations could now not have had the possibility to spark off.

S .. – concluded Quaglia – The city regeneration revel in passed off with non-public assets, tenders, actions of groups and banking foundations intervened on individual elements of the assignment. These practices need to be within a public direction, not within the experience of funding, but within the sense of creating them come to be public regulations. Our usa is complete of regenerative studies, but they’re ordinarily disconnected from each other and threat being amazing high numbers.”
