important for the history of humanity
because he marked the overtaking of the
city on the countryside as a number of
inhabitants
urban space has become a
interesting laboratory in which
observe political transformations
economic and social we are experiencing
the cities contain so many small ones
microcosms in which it is possible to appreciate
the contrasts between areas of poverty
and rich areas and where they grow
individualization processes to which
we are often exposed not knowing the
our neighbor and do not have one
neighborhood life is only two
examples of forms of isolation
that we are living the geography of the
city tells us a lot of the huge
changes in today ‘s changes
production methods and a system of
development based on culture and services
tourism find many manifestations
physics in our cities
you have noticed how many industrial plants
today they are no longer in operation and remain
abandoned or think of how many barracks
in the centers of our cities today
abandoned unused
because the end of the cold war and the
birth of the European Union have
changed our defense needs
national
the economic crisis then the cuts to
public spending have made it difficult for
many administrations take care of the green
public with the result that many
flowerbeds and dog areas resemble le
in short, the city’s small urban jungles
it can be a place of abandonment areas
unused abandoned buildings in
search for a second destination in the
last years lawyers and planners
urban has been to define these spaces
urban common goods an expression
and allows us to highlight
at least three elements first these spaces
as well as all property resources
public
belong to all and all of us this
it means that the state the regions e
municipalities only need to administer them in
our interest
second element
these places can be considered
from the cities as a burden of which
to break free
or as places of opportunity
third, if these spaces belong to
all and all of us then only the
social cooperation can be the way
to give them a second destination a
starting from these observations
in recent years the common goods are
become an important tool for
respond to the crisis by introducing forms
work alternatives designed for example
an abandoned building that houses a
service center in which to help
how many are not sufficiently
supported by the welfare state or
from public assistance or think of
common work and cooperation
to transform a flowerbed
abandoned in a stefano urban vegetable garden
rodotà wrote that the common goods are
essential for the development of the person
human and that all must all have
access to their use is not
only water or internet but
even of all those places where it is
possible to rebuild ties of
solidarity the road the building
the flowerbed is only the point of
departure to create a city more
welcoming and today we really have it
so much we must build one together
project in the interests of all
represents a way to recreate together
urban space and stop being
only simple users of the services
the common goods are a way to
developing sharing is a way
also to build a vision
ecological of the city because
we reuse the spaces that are already there
we do not build new ones and in this
so we do not consume our soil
mapping the common goods, however, is not
enough
these spaces would be empty and
unused
if there were not a group of people
available to take care of it
working together engaging for the
their regeneration and for their care
in short, the common goods always have
need a community that cares for them
task of the cities in this scenario is
to ensure first of all the
legal and administrative conditions
to release the necessary energy
very often in fact the care of the goods
municipalities is hampered by the absence of one
reads with the result that many
activities that fulfill needs
essentials are considered illegal
despite being fully legitimate
just to avoid these problems
in recent years more than a hundred cities in
Italy have adopted a regulation for
facilitate citizen cooperation
in the care of urban common goods
among these cities there is also turin which is
together with the university and others
partner is experimenting with his
regulation in a project called
so so there is a project that allows
to the citizens and the administration of
to draw urban space together
collaboration and co design
they are two essential elements of this
project is in general the care of the
urban common goods
however this does not mean or replace
to an administration increasingly in crisis
nor do they provide free work
the care of common goods is a way of
take care of the cities and for this
constitutes a form of participation
a very concrete policy for citizens
they have the possibility to create with the
own actions
the urban public space the goal of
so you have to improve ours
suburbs and allow
the organization of new centers of
aggregation in which alternative economics
bonds of solidarity and processes of
social enhancement find a home
this is important because the
privatization and making money are not
the only tools to get out of the
economic crisis the reaction of the
citizens to the opportunities offered by
so you have been conspicuous is a lot
interesting more than 140 groups e
associations have presented a
project to take care of the spaces
urban from the area that dogs need
an extra bench at the square of
neighborhood to the abandoned building to one
school that after the closing time is
normally underused
sharing and then to the center
of the idea of thus creating one
shared city to do it serves the
contribution of everyone and everyone
we must certainly be professionals
to make their own contribution
in fact the needs of a neighborhood e
those of a school make up the
compass to follow to draw a
urban regeneration project la
birth and organization of one
communities find in mutual trust
the essential elements to build
forms of social cooperation issued by
here look around you register the
abandoned buildings and abandoned flowerbeds
imagine what they can become like
make them accessible instead of
excluding project a project that
go in the interest of everyone else
the examples from which to learn are many and
we already think about how many
associations in our cities since
center to the suburbs develop each
day projects of independent culture
meet the needs of the neighborhood in
which they are at the end of the day
deal with urban common goods
it means rediscovering our communities
and deal with it
of our units claim yours
right to the city the right ie a
to be active protagonists of space
urban public
thank you so much
[Applause]
