PARTICIPATION MECHANISMS
PARTICIPATION MECHANISMS. The annual Meetings. The regular general meetings and Working Groups.
PARTICIPATION MECHANISMS
Two key elements to involve citizens in the process
Achieving participation of the most active citizens. Therefore Urban laboratories workin group was set up.
Continuously communicating the neighbourhood transformartion process to everyone. So we designed an anual event: La Gala, performed by all the participants in the different activities.
URBAN LABSIs a reflective process on how to share collective space
and how to improve community living together. The methodology of this action was to engage citizens in the process of analyzing problems and designing solutions for the future redevelopment of the neighborhood.
PATHS OF KNOWLEDGE. Cammino della Conoscenza
• Is the first activity of URBAN LABS set up to analyse the actual space in order to draw up a map of perceptions.
• The purpose of the activity was for the residents to participate with their thoughts and proposals in improving the habitability conditions of the neighbourhood in order to convert it into an attractive space.
Path of Knowledge. Itineraries
• It consisted of neighbourhood walks following different itineraries and on different days and at different times. Groups of people were formed with photo cameras and notebooks to record the positive, neutral and negative aspects of the neighbourhood.
Circles referring to physical-urban aspects:
Triangles referring to social-perceptive aspects:
Paths of knowledge. Metaplan
The group contributions were all based on two crucial moments: creativity and and awareness deepening. This involved brainstorming for territorial research based on individual ideas.
Path of knowledge. Presentation of results
In order to share the results of the process with all citizens, an exhibition was held consisting of 9 explanatory panels on the entire process, the results and a visual flash.
Path of knowledge. Presentation of results
Building a square to live together

Building a square to live together
• Design phase, considering the opinion of citizens and presentation
Key Learnings
• Reflexion as a key element in participatory methodologies allows for discovering the afective links which hold a community together, facilitating the search for an expression of the needs, desires and aspirations of citizens and empowering them as agents of change.
• This metodologies are more effective when taking into consideration observation, intuition and perception as key points in understanding resistence to change and searching for news tools to boost it.
