Culture can represent the engine of a regeneration and a different development of our cities. It can unite citizenship, raise the social capital of a community, provide local economies with new energy. The theme was at the center of a multiplicity of initiatives and meetings and yet today it can be analyzed starting from the effects that the projects and initiatives have brought about not only thanks to important international examples, but also on the basis of rich and in-depth experiences locals.
The aim of the seminar consists in the first place in the presentation of some relevant experiences that have characterized both some medium-sized cities – in this case: Bergamo and Novara – and the city of Milan. The hypothesis is that a cultural-based development can represent a perspective for all cities without particular distinctions of role and size.
Furthermore, together with technicians and administrators, the seminar aims to elaborate specific policies that allow principles and guidelines to be transformed into actions endowed with effectiveness and incisiveness. The challenge is represented by the possibility of developing a set of tools with which to intervene starting from the joint effort of the public operator and private actors.
Finally, the seminar aims to outline metrics and tools to evaluate the impact of actions for a regeneration on a cultural basis: the reduction to the economic-financial dimension alone appears to be a reductive choice and new methodologies are necessary in particular on the front of public policies.
