Innovation and Participation in Urban Governance
Résumé
The governance of urban spaces recovered from organized crime is a complex challenge that requires a multidimensional approach, integrating both top-down policies and bottom-up initiatives. Assets confiscated from organized crime, often perceived as symbols of criminal power, offer a unique opportunity for transformation into places of resilience, inclusion and social justice. This study examines the repurposing of these assets in Bari and Lecco, Italy, analyzing the institutional and social obstacles to their sustainable transformation. It highlights the impact of participatory governance models in mobilizing citizens and involving them in the decision-making process. It also explores how public-private cooperation, combined with the use of digital technologies, can strengthen urbanregeneration. This research is part of Track 2 of the “Urban Governance and Citizen Inclusion” program, and questions the governance mechanisms that foster sustainable and inclusive urban planning at local, regional and cross-border levels.
