Urban Social innovation, Key Enabling technologies and capacity_building for the metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria

The projects proposed for the metropolitant city of Reggio Calabria try out the method of the laboratory-city in terms of strategies of local politacal governance and new sustainable tactics to be made permanent. They apply the previously illustrated theoretical principles to urban contexts by reactiving “ a new network geography” of spaces that can no longer be identified ad pheriphery or centre, but as places as communities of the collective city awaiting redemption. By building tactits throught a network of self-supporting “makers” the “city making” exercise carried out by Associazione Pensando Meridiano ha de facto represented the testing of the laboratory city model and strategy.
