Abstract

This contribution focus on the meaning of the living places and on the useful strategies to involve citizens in the transformation of their cities. Among these strategies, we must remember the implementation of new forms of participation and organization, which transform the existing spaces through the production of «new cultures». The analysis of the public spaces as squares, streets and parks is relevant for us because they ensure equal access and opportunities for citizens. Specific cultural activities implemented in these public spaces show a new way of inventing the city, giving visibility to subjects which are scarcely represented, generating processes of identification, supporting the collective memory of living places and local communities. The results show that the experience of the Campus del Pionta in Arezzo (Tuscany, Italy) represents a successful experimentation of the urban regeneration practices that promoted a fertile context for the social, urban and economic transformation of the area.
