How does the foundation engage citizens? The Urban Innovation Foundation is an analysis, communication, elaboration and coproduction Lab, focused on urban transformations to address social, environmental and technological challenges The Foundation aims to affirm and consolidate its role as a "collective brain" and a hub of urban transformations, a catalyst for ideas and activities, as well as a place for meeting and discussing among citizens, public institutions, associations and movements and all representatives of the economic, social and cultural world. To achieve this wide range of goals, three main areas have been identified within which the multiple activities of the Foundation can be articulated: • URBAN CENTER Activities for information and promotion of the territory and urban culture; • CIVIC IMAGINATION Activation of participatory and co-production paths; • MAPPING THE PRESENT Analysis and documentation of urban transformations, with a focus on open data.

In the 2000s, the local administration recognized citizens participation as a tool to improve the implementation of structural plans and city planning: the city has developed a long series of initiatives, shared actions and policies to co-design urban development together with its citizens. From 2014, Municipality experimented and acquired new tools to include different urban actors and inhabitants in the co-design of the city, as: • INCREDIBOL! To reuse public buildings; • Iperbole (the renewed) Civic Network; • Regulation for the care and regeneration of urban commons. In particular, the Regulation allows territorial stakeholders and citizens to sign “cooperation pacts” with the administration, taking on responsibility for solving problems and taking care of a particular area of the town.

Pedagogic/methodological aspects Which co-creation moments are included During the first years of the economic crisis, there has been a shift in the approach to citizens’ participation in urban development due to economic uncertainties and lack of resources, changes in citizens’ priorities, needs and claims.

Education is the focus point for the citizens who took part in the participatory labs promoted between 2017 and 2018. Several places are referred to as a training gym where you can catch a glimpse of Bologna as a city that learns and makes you learn through actions oriented to socialization and recreation and moreover through artistic courses and labs that can be related to art, sport, culture, creativity, music.
