SHAPING THE CITIES OF THE FUTURE

THE CHALLENGE OF THE SUBURBS

by Ottavio Di Blasi Tutor of working group G124 – Senator Renzo Piano

What are the suburbs? How can we define this word that seems to have very negative connotations? The Italian word, “periferia”, contains the idea that there is a city, the depository of identity and quality, and around it there is “another” place that is defined by exclusion and diversity compared with the central area. In the French “banlieu” (literally “banned place”) and the English “suburb” (inferior level city), the etymology sounds even more spectral. Today this idea of suburbs no longer has any sense: the suburbs and not something “other” then the city, they are the city. The suburbs are the challenge of 21st-century cities.

The considerations behind a possible new approach to the problem are:

an awareness that the problem cannot be solved by adding; adding new suburbs and

abandoning the existing ones to their fate;

the economic resources available are limited;

the conviction that the few energies available should be spent in the “heart of the

problem” with an “urban patchwork” attitude.

The intervention illustrates to innovative projects in the territory of Milan based on these

assumptions:

The Ponte Lambro quarter laboratory - The project aims for the insertion in the “heart” of two blocks of council houses in one of the symbolic suburbs of Milan of a laboratory with a program in three sections: WORK (business incubator and co-working, job orientation Centre), LIFE (advisory bureau, playgroup, protected housing for old people and young couples), HABITAT (social caretaking and local laboratory). The project has had a troubled history but is about to be reactivated. The next step will be completion of the building and activation of the functions of the laboratory which will not only provide services to inhabitants but will become a centre of activity and work that could become a centre of attraction for the surrounding area. If the experiment succeeds, it is easy to imagine a network of laboratories in key areas of the major suburban quarters of the city that serve as antibodies, a powerful tool for regenerating the social and economic fabric of the suburbs.

G124 in Giambellino - The project was carried out in 2015 by G124, the working group of life

Senator Renzo Piano, through a group of architects who, working for a year in the quarter,

identified certain issues and concrete actions to improve the quality of life in the quarter starting

from the local market and the public park.

THE MILAN CODE

The European metropolitan areas of the 21st-century – the creation of “suburban centres” and their hidden strength.

by Andreas Krüger Belius GmbH

Big cities need completely new social and spatial strategies in the European continent. Since literally everyone in Europe today is speaking of the challenge to integration and the lack of solutions for people arriving or about to arrive, we should have the courage to look at the opportunities rather than fear the dangers. The current situation definitely needs a new plan for maintaining and increasing the efforts needed to obtain social peace. And obviously for freedom, and for a safe life, and also for economic well-being. Looking at the scene from above the equator no longer seems to divide North and South.

There are several social equators within European societies. This phenomenon can be seen especially in certain metropolitan areas, for example in Milan and Berlin. Some would have us believe that we will not succeed in managing this “destiny” successfully, and that failure is “inevitable”. And it seems that only destructive forces are dominating today and no kind of solution is available. This is not true. It would be worth using carefully, scrupulously and intelligently the cultural competencies we have developed over the past 2000 years. And in this sense Milan could be one of the most challenging and most promising realities. Let’s see how. It has never been so easy to encourage people to create ideas and real solutions. The contemporary idea of participation, new opportunities for work, housing, progressive energy production, mobility and transport, refuse management, green areas, health, the culture of hospitality, in brief: a new empathy and process design create “strongholds”. And always with human beings at the centre. Bearing in mind that today’s future will be tomorrow’s present. Letter shape them instead of waiting to adapt. We need to break down mental barriers. This, perhaps, could lead to a “Milan Code” of urban development. Away with avoiding errors and rendering systematic what has been learned elsewhere: the results achieved in policies, public administration, public/private partnerships, civil society, financing and process design. Milan – Berlin: places for future solutions, places for people, places for “smart citizens” in their “suburban centres”.

TECHNOLOGIES WITH LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT APPLIED TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN SUBURBAN AREAS – 1st Session –

by Andrea Bairati, SC Sviluppo Chimica spa

Our civilisation of machines can teach man everything, except how to be a man.

André Malraux

International institutions (v. United Nations, World urbanisation prospects) predict for the coming decades demographic and economic growth that will be mostly an “urban question” and thus, even if not only, a “suburban question”. The strategic planning of this process, the regeneration of this new physical and immaterial plot using logic that is not casual and chaotic but of high quality, sustainability, protecting the territory and its values and social convergence and cohesion, is decisive for our communities. Technology is by no means a secondary element to this end, and may or may not implement and facilitate this process making it sustainable and feasible. Obviously we are not referring here to the purely technical and productive elements, though these today are very interesting and stimulating (in particular for the use of nano-and biomaterials in building, for the computer technologies applied, for low impact mobility) but to the useful value we can give to modern technologies for setting in motion also in suburban areas innovative processes of construction/regeneration of environmental, social, economic and land values. If we just look at buildings, consider that 60% of our heritage does not meet any current standards of energy-saving, safety, living comfort, or if we consider that demographics (smaller nuclei and higher average ages) will impose new models for housing and organisation of rhythms and spaces. Today new materials, construction technologies, computers and the broad sense, the ways people and goods travel (e.g. new ways of preparing building sites, the use of BIM, computerisation, the new industry of prefabricated buildings, electric mobility) can lead to a recovery of almost ¾ of energy consumption, to earthquake prevention, to the reduction of noise pollution, to widespread connections for sustainable management of buildings and the growing age of the population, to the reduction of weights and waste in building sites, to longer average life cycles for buildings, a drastic reduction of building times and costs, a favouring of low impact mobility for a true model of circularity. Here there is a crucial question relating to the quality of public demand for goods and services. Public demand is worth a little less than a fifth of the European scale GNP. A conspicuous part of it concerns infrastructures, public works and buildings. So it is a very powerful motor for innovation and creating jobs in our economies. The application to the suburbs of technologies, innovative organisational methods in the building chain, in mobility and urban regeneration (sustainability and zero use of terrain) and it could thus be a fundamental lever not just for regenerating the suburban fabric but the economy as a whole. But technology stops on the threshold of the choice, which is a political one, one for mankind.

SHARED VALUE AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT IN DEGRADED URBAN AREAS – 2nd Session –

by Adriana Spazzoli, Fondazione Sodalitas

Increasing urbanisation is undoubtedly one of the aspects that will have the greatest impact on the transformation of our lives in the coming years: by 2030 almost 60% of the world population will live in urban areas. Managing the impact of such an important trend is a priority we cannot get away from: the Agenda 2030 of the United Nations underlines the objectives of making cities more inclusive, safer, more resilient and sustainable. It is a global phenomenon that directly involves our country too: companies must deal with it, in the awareness that a commitment to help the more fragile areas of the territory is a key factor for their own prospects of growth and development over time. In fact the territory makes a very important contribution to growing the so-called “capitals” on which the ability of companies to create value depends: from intellectual capital (universities and research centres with which to collaborate to create innovation) to human capital (the presence of people with adequate education and competences) and natural capital (supply of natural resources, quality of the environment) and social capital (safety, level of trust in the company, reputation, relationships with local stakeholders). Making the territory grow means in particular that companies must commit themselves to reducing the levels of inequality in the large urban areas where they are based, or where their supply, production and sales markets are. There is in fact a direct correlation between the level of inequality and competitiveness: the more a territory manages to limit inequality and ensure a widespread good standard of living to the people living there, the more that territory will be competitive and so able to contribute to the competitiveness of the companies operating there. Multi-stakeholder partnerships are a distinctive approach with which companies can help reduce the level of inequality to make the territory, in particular urban areas, more competitive. In Italy, where 36% of the population lives in 14 metropolitan cities, it is particularly important to look to partnerships between companies and local institutions to improve the quality of life in urban areas. With CRESCO Award-Sustainable cities, Fondazione Sodalitas and ANCI have engaged in promoting company-municipality partnerships to develop the territory: the spread of this approach can start from an awareness of the excellent practices that our country too is not short of.

TOOLS FOR GROWTH

HOW FINANCE CAN RESPOND TO SOCIAL NEEDS – 3rd Session – by Mauro Bombacigno, Paribas Italia SpA

In recent years, progressive environmental and social deterioration has induced the main world players – institutions, economic operators, NGOs and the media – to see traditional business models as no longer capable of following by themselves the evolution of markets. And so the frontiers of a new way of doing business are being discussed, both in the for-profit and non-profit sectors. The concept of social innovation has become a main theme. Managers, entrepreneurs and companies are increasingly under pressure from stakeholders and requests to create positive impacts on society. Some of the main world financial groups, including BNP Paribas, have adopted a very strong position on these issues. The key word is sustainability: without it a business, a company or a country undermines the bases of its future. The job of these institutions is to work together to produce new forms of cooperation, also based on their international experience. In this sense, instruments such as Social Impact Bonds (SIB), Development Impact Bonds (DIB) and Social Impact Contracts (CIS) are the ways in which private financial operators can contribute to sustainable development. The BNP Paribas model is based on four areas of commitment (economic, as an employer, towards the community, environmental) and 13 concrete and measurable objectives, which influence the attribution of 20% of the variable deferred retribution of the 6000 key managers. Sustainability integrated in the core business implies for a bank taking sustainable decisions on what to finance and where to direct its investments, strongly influencing the system and encouraging virtuous behaviour. Overall the Group has set aside 155 billion Euro for projects that contribute directly to attaining the 17 sustainable development objectives of the United Nations. Because of all this, BNP Paribas was recently named as the leading European bank in environmental sustainability in the classification of ShareAction, an organisation that promotes sustainable and responsible investments. There was an important contribution from microcredit, which makes it possible to finance people with less chances of obtaining credit for carrying out small entrepreneurial projects. BNL is an industrial partner of PerMicro, national leader in the microcredit sector, which since 2007 has financed about 14,000 family and business projects with more than 25 million Euro, creating more than 4000 jobs mostly for young people and immigrants. To finance the roughly 110 social businesses who are customers of BNL dedicated service models have been developed, with trained personnel and dedicated credit policies. Alongside all this is the activity of the BNL Foundation, created in 2006, that supports and develops ideas promoted by associations operating in the social field, by financing specific products in the solidarity and health sectors. Since its creation, the Foundation has financed 650 projects with a total of about 12 million Euro. More than 90% was invested nationally, the rest internationally.

LOCAL COMMUNITIES AS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVATORS IN URBAN AREAS

– 4th Session –

by Ilda Curti, Lacittàintorno (Fondazione Cariplo)

The cities we have inherited from the 20th century are obsolete and tired. They are full of urban

vacuums. Spaces without purpose, a physical heritage without a destiny.

In particular the suburbs have where the loss of 20th-century usages – productive, social, cultural

and economic – is most evident, with the risk of impoverishing and depleting the social and

cultural practices of appropriating urban space.

The question of how to regenerate territories without a project, full of urban emptiness and

lacerated social fabric, has been a concern for stakeholders, both institutional and local

philanthropic, for some time now, even though it is often difficult to share strategic visions and

planning.

Sometimes the supremacy of physical recovery of spaces postpones until “later” the definition of

functions, the attention to management mechanisms and governance architecture, the activation

of communities of proximity and those of knowledge able to suggest and activate services and

invest the places with a meaning.

Nevertheless new social subjects burst upon the urban scene, fragments of new civility, young

creatives, precarious professionals, latent communities, who use the spaces and transform them

into places.

They intercept public policies, sometimes become references for public administrations and

territorial philanthropic bodies (bank foundations, business foundations etc.). They look after

social relations, around and inside the places.

They try to find their way between regulations that are hard to interpret and competences that

are increasingly hard to find. They have civil motivations that make them tenacious and stubborn

in imagining the future, acting day by day among difficulties, procedures, stop and go

authorisations, difficulties getting credit and financial planning. These places have, in the diversity

of the management models, the activities they host or generate, there methods of operation, the

knowledge they have that animates them, some characteristics in common. They are places that

produce hybrid functions, services, practices, cultures and people. Public and private, civil spirit

and public policies. They are urban regeneration practices that activate themselves by inventing

new ways of being in the territories and moving the urban scene. They are not patches but new

fabrics that weave and reuse threads, material or intangible, that were already there to recreate a

new web of communities, institutions and genius loci.

They are places that come from an urge, from a spark that is then transformed and transforms the

inhabited space of cities. They modify the rigid meshes of the usual dichotomies: public versus

private, non-profit and for-profit, social and cultural, economic and technological.

In these spaces we leave the 20th century and into a new arena where there is a new, unexplored

cultural path that is hard to decipher.

TOOLS FOR GROWTH

Faced with new needs they attempt to offer new responses designing community chains often in

suburbs or in complex territories.

These places are created from relational processes, they are constitutionally collaborative and

create the premises for new “platform” jobs that here are imagined and created, intermingling.

They are places that create complex governance models where hierarchies give way to community

dynamics, where principles of open innovation are affirmed in the co-creation of new services,

products and social and cultural infrastructures.

In Italy there are a growing number of laboratories which experiment with new forms of

exploitation, new artistic, social and cultural offerings, new models of relationships with

institutions, new models of learning, also reciprocal, for all players in the field. Enlarging the

meshes of their action to the complex sea of social relations produced in the quarters of the city,

they are places that help create networks of support and inclusion as a response to urban solitude

and generational precariousness.

With profit, non-profit, public, private, with new undefined models of economic sustainability,

created as community initiatives from below (like the experiences of Palermo and Bari), these

realities create the premises for the spread of cultural and social spaces.

Understanding what is happening in the karstic kinds of cities and communities this means trying

to identify models and methods for intervening in the suburbs and creating new alliances between

makers, institutional operators and economic stakeholders.

The Fondazione Cariplo three-year programme Lacittàintorno stems from an awareness that the

triggering of community activators – generators of social and cultural change in the complex

quarters of our cities – must start from within an institutional framework of complex governance,

so as to intercept the motivations and the energies that are endogenous to the territories and

connect them with the public policies of the city of Milan.

The innovative aspect of the programme is the “bottom-up” approach with which it aims to

intervene: listening to the territories, identifying significant places for activation (the

Puntidicomunità), investment in the social and intangible capital of the community of reference,

the networking of institutional operators, cultural initiatives and debates to increase awareness

and sharing. Lacittàintorno has activated, even before identifying the places to invest resources

and competences, a cultural and social action that is networked ideas, critical thought, widespread

know-how to give back a meaning to the places and offer pertinence to the social requirements of

the territories.

During the panel, Lacittàintorno will speak with two of the most interesting Italian experiences of

regeneration and social and cultural innovation that were able, in such complex cities as Bari and

Palermo, to make their mark as enablers of change.
