1st International policy workshop on urban
regeneration/social innovation/neighbourhood change 20th of June 2018 Palazzo Badoer, aula ex Biblioteca h. 9.30 > 16.30 organized by Elena Ostanel, Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow, Università Iuav di

The workshop aims at understanding the institutional change that occurred in three European cities.
Barcelona, Bologna and Naples are foreseen as main cases with regard the coproduction between social innovative practices and local institutions in urban regeneration settings. These cities have gone through very different policy frameworks in the management of underused or derelict public properties.
The Patrimonio ciudadano de gestión y uso comunitario in Barcelona, the ‘Rules for the regeneration of urban commons between citizens and the Municipality’ in Bologna and the ’Civic Uses’ in Naples are among the few attempts to push the municipal government to become a ‘learning institution’.

of Bologna
Citizen-driven innovation increases the possibilities for a broader range of people to become directly involved in all stages of social and urban action, though at the same they appear to replace the government in the provision of urban services. Local governments need to find ways to provide public value in accountable and transparent ways, in contexts where social and spatial barriers often prevent the involvement of the most vulnerable groups.

Increasing socio-spatial polarization questions social cohesion in local societies worldwide. Against this backdrop, following the 2007 financial crisis welfare and public investment for urban regeneration have significantly decreased across most European cities; dissimilar top-down revitalisation strategies have resulted in new urban dynamics and urban tensions, gentrification processes and social exclusion. As a result, the neighbourhood is now the privileged level of policy intervention. Community-based initiatives and the institution coproduce with the aim to change power relations and socio-spatial inequalities.

Roundtable discussion: Naples
Fabio Pascapè, Comune di Napoli
In a growing number of neighbourhoods diversity, affordability, and social inclusion are increasingly at risk due to gentrification and real estate speculation. The capacity of community based responses to mitigate the effects of negative change needs to be further assessed particularly when the State is constantly retreating. Self-organization practices can create important spaces of autonomy, but at the same time coproduction with local institutions has different impacts and outcomes on the institutional as well as the community based organizational structure.
