How a dedicated lab for citizens and civic cooperation can be effectively designed? Which kind of technologies are needed? How entrepreneurs, young people, vulnerable categories can be properly engaged?
Bologna will be equipped by one the biggest collaborative space in Europe. Located in Piazza Maggiore, it will operate in the spaces of Salaborsa, Urban Center Bologna, Palazzo d’Accursio and occupying part of the underground passages linked with Modernissimo Cinema.
The main aim is to create a place for developing new collaborative models, increasing the interaction between citizens, visitors flows
and the historic city centre, giving new drivers to Bologna creative and cultural spaces.
A place to enable the access to data and technologies, where training young people towards new competences, flexible enough to be easly adaptated to different contexts and needs, being an available resource for all the schools in Bologna, for citizens and local entrepreneurs.
The first challenge of the Lab will lie in experimenting actions to match advanced technologies and cultural heritage, through the participation of experts who will share their know-how about cultural attractiveness, financial sustainability, key performance indicators, urban regenerations, and their experiences on national and international successful cases to stimulate replication opportunities in Bologna.
