The contribution aims to highlight how formal and informal actions (both individual and collective) aimed at improving and regenerating public spaces for the direct and immediate benefit of those who use them on a daily basis are not simply attempts to fill the gaps left by institutions and the objective shortcomings of the territory, but represent, on the one hand, creative forms of participation and, on the other, forms of coexistence and exchange between different segments of the resident population with a view to building fully inclusive communities. The observation carried out in the Trullo and Tor Pignattara neighbourhoods – through semi-structured interviews with residents and regular visitors to the two Roman neighbourhoods – reveals a “grassroots” commitment to tangibly improving daily life by making shared spaces safer, more welcoming and accessible to all. The result is the enhancement of the area and the promotion of sociality and solidarity through the “co-production” of public services that could also influence local policies.
Il contributo mira a porre in luce come le azioni formali e informali (sia individuali che collettive) volte a migliorare e rigenerare lo spazio pubblico a beneficio diretto e immediato di coloro che lo utilizzano quotidianamente, non sono semplici tentativi di colmare le lacune delle istituzioni e le carenze oggettive del territorio, ma rappresentano da un lato forme creative di partecipazione e, dall'altro lato, forme di convivenza e scambio tra diversi segmenti della popolazione residente al fine di costruire comunità pienamente inclusive. L'osservazione condotta nei quartieri di Trullo e Tor Pignattara – attraverso interviste semi-strutturate con residenti e frequentatori abituali dei due quartieri romani – rivela un impegno “dal basso” volto a migliorare concretamente la vita quotidiana, rendendo gli spazi condivisi più sicuri, accoglienti e accessibili a tutti. Il risultato è la valorizzazione del territorio e la promozione della socialità e della solidarietà attraverso la “coproduzione” di servizi pubblici che potrebbero anche influenzare le politiche locali.

Abstract
The contribution aims to highlight how formal and informal actions (both individual and collective) aimed at improving and regenerating public spaces for the direct and immediate benefit of those who use them on a daily basis are not simply attempts to fill the gaps left by institutions and the objective shortcomings of the territory, but represent, on the one hand, creative forms of participation and, on the other, forms of coexistence and exchange between different segments of the resident population with a view to building fully inclusive communities. The observation carried out in the Trullo and Tor Pignattara neighbourhoods – through semi-structured interviews with residents and regular visitors to the two Roman neighbourhoods – reveals a “grassroots” commitment to tangibly improving daily life by making shared spaces safer, more welcoming and accessible to all. The result is the enhancement of the area and the promotion of sociality and solidarity through the “co-production” of public services that could also influence local policies.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
