Sharing spaces, including differences: this name underlines the message and the goals that this new facility inaugurated in May 2022 in the Arpini district of Orbassano intends to offer: to provide an answer to the housing discomfort in the area and to develop a new residential service specifically dedicated to the integration of people with severe motor disabilities, in collaboration with the “Gruppo di Aiuto e Sostegno del Disagio Abitativo delle Persone con gravi disabilità” (Group for the Help and Support of Housing Discomfort for People with Severe Disabilities).
The project envisaged by Cooperativa Giuseppe Di Vittorio, FASP and Fondazione…
“A City that aspires to take shape as a Laboratory of territorial innovation that, in the wake of the tradition inaugurated by the Bourbons with the architectural and economic-social utopias, enhances the signs of history and re-proposes and re-launches it in a vision of a System that goes beyond the City, placing it at the centre of a vast area dimension”.
This section of the D.O.S. finds its application in a sphere of intervention that historically identifies the most marginalised areas of the city, for which the physical barrier of the railway line has always marked their destiny.

The elaboration of the PEBA favours the improvement and greater quality of urban planning, intervention programming and design solutions adopted to make the city accessible.
Environmental accessibility is the requirement for the launch of inclusive strategies to inhabit a city that is fair and accessible to all. The intervention provides basic elements to support the strategic choices of the PEBA aimed at guaranteeing, along some of the main routes, the accessibility of routes to reach essential services, places and public buildings of greater attractiveness for all citizens.
The plan is interdisciplinary, participatory, dynamic, efficient and organic and aims at the regeneration…
The Municipality of Spello has been participating in the debate on cities accessible to all promoted by the INU for a few years now, convinced of the need to “network”, also in terms of knowledge and exchange of experiences in order to be able to promote and implement increasingly effective urban policies for the accessibility and attractiveness of our cities.
From the Strategic Framework for the Enhancement of the Historic Centre came the projects for accessibility, attractiveness and hospitality with the aim of increasing the degree of liveability through the completion of the alternative mobility system and the improvement of…
The aim of the action is to transpose into the municipal planning instruments elements and themes of reflection developed in different contexts and in particular to test the possibility that they may constitute an explicit reference for the definition of the strategies of the Services Plan, one of the three instruments of which the Piano di Governo del Territorio (Territorial Government Plan) is composed, as provided for by the Lombardy Region regulations.
The objective is the improvement of relations between public administration and citizens; a fundamental necessity to make the city’s development more balanced and enhance the role of public…
The main motivations inherent in adhering to the experimentation are to promote and experiment the ethical-design approach of urban accessibility at the different project scales (from urban planning, to urban design, to the design of individual public spaces) in order to progressively affirm the culture of urban inclusiveness both within the municipal structure (in its political and technical components), and in the city community that will be involved, with diversified modalities of active listening/participation, in the different project paths. The promotion of urban accessibility is linked to the integrated policies concerning the contextual elaboration of the Operational Plan, the…

INU’s Project “Accessible Cities for All” has highlighted the importance of building the accessibility system where the purpose goes beyond the logic of single interventions overcoming barriers while towards a broader goal of overall quality. This approach is often reaffirmed within the Guidelines published at http://atlantecittaccessibili.inu.it/.
The wider concept of accessibility and inclusion for all involves the limitations imposed on people’s autonomy produced by physical, sensory, perceptual, intellectual, gender, but also considers cultural, social, economic, and environmental barriers. Among these the central themes of the 2022 call for proposals have prioritized: people’s well-being; urban…

In 2021 INU first experimented with the deal for urbanism “Accessible Cities for All”. The pact must not be understood as a mere negotiation nor even as a technical exercise, but as an inescapable commitment, a political and cultural choice capable of acting positively on: the environment, society, and economy; settlement dispersions, policies, and institutions; inclusion, quality of life, fragile conditions and shattering of coexistence; relational dispersion; sectoriality and distinctness of knowledge.
Albeit fragmented, all these areas/aspects concern all-around accessibility and the networks that constitute its broader articulation. Moreover, since 2016, INU’s Project…

Urban regeneration is the means for implementing the evolution of a city that no longer expands but transforms itself within its own limits. The improvement of the quality of life in cities is determined by several conditions among which land consumption limitation, design innovation, raising environmental quality, and the new role of public spaces.
Awareness regarding environmental, energy, and climate criticisms has increased in local communities. This increased consciousness has contributed to redefine the idea of urban quality as composed of environmental, settlement, social, and accessibility aspects that is achieved with a comprehensive strategy formed…
