Once again this year Urbanpromo is addressing a topic imbued with intense ethical values and aspirations to legality, and which also includes social, economic and environmental issues, such as the social use of property confiscated from mafias.
The conference is opened by a general overview of the topic from a regulatory, dimensional, location and typological, institutional perspective. Twenty-seven years after the law that regulated the public and social reuse of confiscated property, the numbers document a largely unfulfilled opportunity and prompt reflection on the need to reconfigure the procedural system. At the same time, however, the experiences made raise great expectations.
The work of the conference is in fact developed on two levels: that of the public policies conceived and implemented by territorial authorities, which take concrete form in interventions that are emblematic of their aims, and that of the specific interventions implemented by third sector organisations, which often generate significant effects on the regeneration of their urban and environmental contexts.
The gaze is turned to the entire country in full awareness of the national relevance of the issue. Reports on territorial strategies then alternate with the presentation of concrete experiences.
What emerges are the synergies that can be established between local authorities and third sector organisations, including in particular the banking foundations and the world of associations, among which Libera stands out, the connections of the commitment to legality with the redevelopment of urban and territorial areas, and the new forms of production of social services for the community. But also the institutional, administrative, financial and technical difficulties that stand in the way of the rapid and full development of this potential.
This raises important questions: what are the operational spaces for local authorities and public policies? what are the potential benefits for local communities? how could planning tools facilitate the reuse of these assets?
