Roberta Capuis, Head of Urban Planning and Urban Regeneration
In continuity with the previous editions, this year Confcommercio-Imprese per l’Italia contributes to Urbanpromo by proposing a reflection on the social role of local trade and public establishments and on the relationship between food culture, city and territory, also in terms of urban regulation. The health emergency of Covid-19 has made clear the importance of the widespread presence in the urban fabric of neighborhood economic activities, both for the service offered to citizens and for their nature as places of social exchange, but underlined, at the same time, the fragility of this widespread economic heritage and the need to safeguard it. For this reason, the debate on urban regeneration, in facing in an integrated way the wide variety of issues concerning the organization and functioning of cities, must also take into account the central role of local services in order to outline policies and actions. able to support and strengthen urban economic systems and to counteract the contraction of social spaces.
In this context, public establishments clearly embody the idea of a capillary network of places and services dedicated to conviviality and being together, even before economic exchange. These are places that have historically favored the circulation of ideas and the acceptance of new lifestyles and which still play an important social and cultural role today. The opportunity should therefore be taken to govern these activities from an urban planning point of view so that they can contribute to the revitalization of parts of the city and integrate harmoniously with other urban functions.
