Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar?

  • It was the first time that people, citizen and inhabitants could get involved in Arezzo by reflecting on the place where they were living and express their opinions.
  • In all my country, the shared participation in public projects is not spread: it is very difficult to find important positive examples.

In 2008 in my city, Arezzo, the public administration wanted a “participated process” to realize the project of upgrading Sant’Agostino square, a central historical place in the urban conformation that had fallen into decay. The administration designed a “path”, developed through stages and activities ,that required the stakeholders to say and do something concrete and that create co-responsibility in decisions aimed at improving the quality of life and spaces.

After that, from the “preliminary draft” the public administration asked to architect's studios by notice a “final project” but without considering only the winner one: from the many solutions the administration wanted to synthesize a definitive single project. It appened that, for this reason, the guild of architects has appealed to the regional court but lost because of the notice conditions that encouraged a " participated project ". This is proof that in Italy this way of planning is not widespread.
