Key dates

June 19-29, Zingonia, Italy


Interactions

Zingonia is a town where a process of regeneration is taking place. A number of residents, companies, associations and institutions have begun to collaborate with local and foreign partners to develop urban regeneration programs. Universities have already intervened in this process with a project of urban analysis particularly dedicated and realized in collaboration with local school students.

This program has been useful to identify communities and stakeholders such as:

Institutions:

  • 5 municipalities;
  • one local public school
  • Parish’s oratory

Associations:

  • Sengalese Association
  • “Orti Sociali” [social gardens] association

Groups:

  • Citizens
  • Virtual groups “Quelli della Zingonia”

The workshop would like to interact with these stakeholders, trying to build relationships among different subjects and contributing to the development of a common new design.

Stakeholders' specific profiles suggest a few themes:

  • production and economy
  • urban farming, ecology, nature
  • housing, co-housing and dwelling
  • public spaces, infrastructures
  • cultural, community building processes, school.


Synthesis

  • The results of these investigations will most definitely demand new forms of representation and mapping in order to capture the non-physical attributes of the landscape.
  • Each layer produces a different representation of the same physical space. By overlapping all graphics and maps, it will perhaps be possible to recognize special spaces as 'social condenser': places, and phenomena, which could be challenging in order to emphasize processes for a democratic participation in planning and urban management.
  • The workshop will mix communication by invited researchers, interdisciplinary team-work and relations with citizens and stakeholders.
  • After this analysis, workshop participants will be asked for a draft proposal of a new “social condenser” and develop in tandem with local participants (administrators, stakeholders, focus groups etc.) a strategic plan for a future which will nurture and allow such spaces to continue and grow within the city.
