Co-Creative, Re-Generative Smart Cities. Smart Cities and Planning in a Living Lab Perspective
2014
A particularly mild approach in money supply over three decades at the international level has encouraged the piling up of substantial amounts of debt through urban investment, particularly in less competitive systems . It appears therefore necessary ato elaborate stringent "urban financial statements", through a kind of digital agenda able to provide georeferenced economic indicators about structure, value and performance of urban capital, and therefore capable to serve as a guide in future allocative choices of the myriad of holders of some stake of the above urban capital. Recognizing the role of such a multiplicity of stakeholders means to radically reconsider the transcendent assumptio…
Co-creating Urban Development: A Living Lab for Community Regeneration in the Second District of Palermo
2013
The characterisation of urban ‘smartness’ emerges as a product of social mobilisation, which marks the pathway towards collective technology adoption and policy innovation. This paper highlights the didactic and critical aspects that relate to the use of participatory solutions – namely the electronic Town Meeting and others, such as weblogs and the “Planning for Real” scheme – which start within the dimension of social animation and serious gaming and are only later oriented to urban planning. The Palermo pilot of the PARTERRE ICT-PSP project, based on the Territorial Living Lab approach, documents one possible transition from the stage of a free relationship with scenarios and visions, to…

Partecipare al bene comune attraverso il Living Lab. Una riflessione sul ruolo della scuola
2022
Le trasformazioni delle dinamiche produttive e sociali caratterizzanti questi ultimi decenni hanno avuto un impatto sui contesti socio-economici, oggi contrassegnati da globalizzazione, pervasività delle tecnologie e allentamento delle reti relazionali. Il mutamento dei processi di socializzazione, organizzazione e partecipazione alla costruzione del bene comune ha comportato una crescente disaffezione dell’uomo nei confronti della polis. Difronte ad un siffatto scenario, la scuola è chiamata a sviluppare concrete pratiche che promuovano negli alunni e nella collettività consapevolezza della propria agentività e senso di appartenenza, elementi fondanti della partecipazione attiva alla vita …
The Territorial Dimension of Living Lab Approaches: Starting the European “Participant Observatory”
2011
Territory production can be intended as any process of spatial transformation deriving from a sustainable and reciprocal dialogue between local communities and their spatial context along history time; the territory is a dynamic but durable balance between human settlements and their environments. Territory intended in this way - maybe the major competitive factor of regions and their economic actors too - depends less on merely technological advances, rather than socio-technical innovations able to generate better life quality in cities and regions. This is why in the CIP project “Periphèria”, started in November 2010, a European Observatory of LLs and Smart Cities will be set up, conceive…
