FIA – HOUSING INVESTMENT FUND

Since ten years, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti has been committed to promoting and supporting the development of private social housing, known as Social Housing, through a fund of funds, the Fondo Investimenti per l’Abitare (FIA), in which it is the reference investor (with 1 billion euro capital, equal to about 50% of the total endowment) and manager through its subsidiary CDP Immobiliare SGR. The FIA operates through an Integrated System of Funds (SIF): 29 local real estate funds, managed by 9 SGRs, whose reference investor is the FIA (with shares of between 33% and 80% of the total capital)…

PEBA for living

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 welcoming, accessible and attractive city

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 service system and new urban welfare needs

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…

ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUSION FOR ALL. Award ceremony for the 2022 competition

Alessandro Bruni and Iginio Rossi, INU – URBIT


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…

A DEAL FOR URBANISM CITIES ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

Alessandro Bruni, Iginio Rossi, INU – URBIT


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…
