Welfare urbano e spazi pubblici nella città contemporanea. Da luoghi in abbandono a infrastrutture di prossimità

The paper proposes, through an inductive method, a conceptualization of possible theoretical-methodological and operational guidelines for the project on the system of collective open spaces, residual areas, abandoned areas that characterize the contemporary city, both in the urban contexts of the city. historical, both in the more marginal areas of the modern suburbs, starting from the analysis of some design experiments conducted by the Gràvalosdimonte studio (Estonoesunsolar in Zaragoza and Supermanzana in Barcelona), which combine the theme of the inter-scalarity of the project (territorial, urban and local scale) with the themes of the flexibility of functions with respect to local instances and contingencies, with particular reference to the need for urban health, the dialectic between public and private space in the perspective of the notion of common good, the bottom-up project for the construction of proximity spaces and plurality in the decision-making process.
