    L’ennesimo volume su Innovazione Sociale? Possiamo immaginare questa domanda scorrere tra i pensieri di chi ha appena iniziato a sfogliare il libro. Allora proviamo a rispondere subito. Sì, in parte è un nuovo volume su Innovazione Sociale, perché il contenuto di queste pagine riguarda pratiche e processi – sociali, politici, giuridici ed economici – innovativi. Ma in realtà non è solo questo, perché rappresenta anche il tentativo di ampliare lo sguardo e riflettere sull’interconnessione di tali pratiche e processi con tutti quegli elementi che direttamente o indirettamente ne possono influenzare la progettazione, l’implementazione, la diffusione e la sostenibilità nel tempo. Come dice il titolo, quindi, riflettere sugli Ecosistemi di Innovazione Sociale

    Si tratta della recensione del volume di Giacomo Becattini, La coscienza dei luoghi, Il territorio come soggetto corale, Roma, Donzelli Editore, 2013. Nato come raccolta di saggi inediti e di testi pubblicati su riviste, il libro assume i luoghi come tessuto connettivo e matrice dei mondi di vita e della produzione. Lo scopo del contributo e, in particolare del dialogo finale con l'urbanista Magnaghi, è sottolineare la necessità di tornare alla corresponsabilità degli abitanti dei luoghi, facendo prevalere il principio territoriale su quello funzionale

    The Role of Commoning and Mutually Shaped Citizenship in Developing Bottom-Linked Governance. The Projects Living Street and Future Street in Belgium

    No full text
    Framed by the concept of Social Innovation, this work reflects on the role of commoning and a model of mutually shaped citizenship in developing forms of bottom-linked governance. The focus on urban commons, analysed through three dimensions (resource, community, practices of commoning), allows to examine both the internal governance aimed at (re)producing and managing the commons and the external governance existing between the community and other urban actors. It also underlines the necessity to go beyond actual conceptualisations of citizenship, always represented national vs urban, transnational vs national, or received vs achieved dichotomies. Using the qualitative methodology of semi-structured interviews, the analysis of Living Street in Ghent and Future Street in Antwerp underlines which conditions favour or hinder changes in urban governmental practices regarding the management of public spaces

    Citizens’ Networks and Civic Responsibility Chains for a Communitarian Response to the Post-pandemic Vulnerabilities

    During the pandemic, the system of social and health services has been heavily put under pressure, while the widespread micro-network of individual and collective actors belonging to the third sector and informal volunteering has emerged as fundamental. Besides activating quickly, these actors managed to adapt to the use of digital technologies to develop remote proximity. The paper analyses the evolution of the Social Street Residents in Via Venti Settembre in Verona as a form of technologically-mediated sociality. Using semi-structured interviews and the social network analysis, the aim is to investigate whether the network of offline relationships has been transposed online, what types of support the members exchanged online, what roles the members played, and whether the Social Street developed ties with other actors of the neighbourhood. The results show a strong resilience of the Social Street, which uses digital technology to exchange psychological support and to organize responses to instrumental needs with other third sector actors of the neighbourhood. However, the potential for networking, communication, and generation of proximity spaces does not meet a local government capable of including the Social Street in a civic and urban responsibility chain

    Fostering social cohesion at the neighbourhood scale: the role of two Social Streets in Ferrara and Verona

    Full text link
    Social cohesion is often regarded as a remedy for many societal problems, among which the increasing isolation and the crisis of public space in urban contexts. Focusing on the Social Street phenomenon as an alternative urbanity, this paper reflects on social cohesion at the neighbourhood scale, by analysing its cultural and political perspectives and taking into consideration the role of individuals, communities and institutions in fostering it. Participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups are applied to two cases of Social Street. Besides highlighting the enabling conditions for social cohesion, the results show the intertwining between the individual, community and institutional levels. These links are defined as reflexive interfaces, which are organized moments and places where different actors can meet, dialogue and negotiate, accepting the other participants’ interests, values and aims

    Modelli strategici integrati: dalla policy nazionale alle governance territoriali

    Full text link
    In the last decade, a new Italian policy was implemented to integrate the territorial services addressed to homelessness. The paper aims to investigate how the integrated strategic model favoured by the policy was interpreted at the urban scale and how different territorial governance was reproduced or transformed. The analysis concerns the cities of Bologna and Milan, and it is based on semi-structured interviews, focus groups and social network analysis. The combination of qualitative and network data permits the analysis of the governance structure and the processual perspectives of public actors and Third Sector organizations. The results show a failure of the national policy in triggering a standardised morphogenesis of the different territorial governance. However, territorial systems also converge in identifying the elements necessary to initiate morphogenesis, to which they do not oppose an ideological rejection

    Full text link
    The Covid-19 pandemic forced the Cultural and Creative Industries to face the shift into the digital sphere. While so far research observed how Covid-19 accelerated the process, on the basis of interviews with seventeen CCIs in Bologna, this contribution deepens how digitalization impacts the reorganization of work and audiences’ engagement, and what function digital technologies have for CCIs’ innovation. Moreover, it delves into the perspectives and needs of cultural and creative workers about the political-administrative, economic, and cultural factors which hinder the sustainable development of the cultural and creative Italian sector

    Governance territoriali e politiche di contrasto alla grave emarginazione adulta. Verso un modello strategico integrato

    Full text link
    Le ricerche sulla grave emarginazione adulta e, più nello specifico, sulla condizione di senza dimora si concentrano spesso sulle persone senza dimora, sul loro percorso all’interno del circuito dei servizi, sulla loro esperienza della città. Ma come vengono progettati i servizi territoriali per questa fascia di popolazione? Come sono organizzati gli stakeholder coinvolti? Chi sono gli attori coinvolti e a quali livelli territoriali e istituzionali operano? Come collaborano e quale è il contenuto dei loro scambi? Perché per i policy maker nazionali è fondamentale costruire un “modello strategico integrato”? E a livello locale questo obiettivo è davvero stato realizzato? Come? La ricerca presentata in questo libro ha indagato l’impatto della politica nazionale dell’Avviso 4/2016, emanata dal Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche Sociali, sulla governance dei servizi sociali a scala regionale e urbana. Tramite l’utilizzo di molteplici tecniche di ricerca, il lavoro ha monitorato l’andamento dei servizi progettati e le modalità di collaborazione e progettazione all’interno delle cabine di regia territoriali multi-stakeholder. Il volume restituisce una visione trasversale che va oltre i singoli contesti territoriali e analizza in profondità gli effetti di una politica nazionale per molti aspetti innovativa rispetto al passato, contribuendo ad arricchire la riflessione per la produzione di politiche nazionali sempre più consapevoli delle particolarità e dei bisogni locali

    This contribution aims at investigating the development of social cohesion at a local scale through the dimensions of collective engagement and shared responsibility. The conceptual framework is applied to two Social Streets with a qualitative methodology.
