The research is about urban regeneration applied at Italian social housing suburbs built between 1960’–1980’ (De Matteis, 2010), when urban growth was often oversized and technicist, and when the “public city” (Di Biagi, 1986) had a central role in the process.

Raibosola is an articulated case study, dealing with many of LUS researched issues such as dead open spaces renovation, landscape and environment valorization, meeting-interaction places and facilities creation, residential densification, social shared practices and population involvement, socioe-conomical regeneration.

Abstract

The paper deals with the three year research project LUS “Living Urban Scape”, IUAV University of Venice and University of Roma Tre. The research is about urban regeneration applied at Italian social housing suburbs built between 1960’–1980’ (De Matteis, 2010), when urban growth was often oversized and technicist, and when the “public city” (Di Biagi, 1986) had a central role in the process. These contexts are nowadays characterized by many social and physical problems that, in the age of sustainable cities (Leipzig charter, 2007)and economical crisis, are meant to be solved with effective low-cost and cooperative based strategies (Laboratorio Città Pubblica 2009; De Matteis & Norsa, 2011). By considering “everyday life” landscapes (European Landscape Convention, 2000) as an innovative paradigm that links urban & architectural scale, LUS investigate a form of regeneration that “uses” the two resources always present in the focused residential suburbs: - Physical resource of transformable open space – “third landscape” (Clement, 2005), unfinished residual, missed public space, wasted and deteriorated land, overabundant standard surfaces… - Social resource of local residents, who often, in order to get out from a marginal, depressed situation, spontaneously start local good practices of taking care and appropriation (illegal, too) on open spaces, so that sociable places, new uses and qualities can be created for local communities improvement (Aprile, 2010). LUS is an applied research that experiments participated methods and new design principle and strategies on case studies. It is here showed the “Raibosola Neighborhood” case study in Comacchio. Thanks to good synergies among different local stakeholders, LUS research group has started and conducted a participated process for analysis and urban design. Raibosola is an articulated case study, dealing with many of LUS researched issues such as dead open spaces renovation, landscape and environment valorization, meeting-interaction places and facilities creation, residential densification, social shared practices and population involvement, socioe-conomical regeneration.
