On March 9th, 2015 in Sala della Promoteca at Palazzo Senatorio (Capitol Hill in Rome) the Legal Affairs Department of the City of Rome will host the conference “Aesthetics, preservation and development of the territory reflections for a new urban approach“. The conference will start at 3PM and LabGov will be present with its coordinator, Christian Iaione.
The purpose of this conference is to stimulate a new thinking and to achieve a sustainable approach that could (re)design the traditional rules of urban planning and land use. The conference aims at opening a debate on the conciliation between the preservation of the existing aesthetic and the use of new tools and technologies for the development and regeneration of urban areas and rural areas.
In recent years, the scarcity of resources and the emergence of new challenges, according to the model of “negotiated planning”, forced local authorities to introduce innovative forms of dialogue with the private sector.
During the conference, experts will deal with issues such as Negotiation and administrative power, urban negotiation and Participation and Legality.
Christian Iaione – LabGov coordinator – will participate at the round table, bringing the experiences developed in Bologna with the Regulation on public collaboration for urban commons, in Mantova with the Pact of collaborative governance, and Battipaglia with the City Urban Plan as a Pact of Collaboration for Legality and Land Use.

After a brief pause, the LabGov workshops restart again Friday, March the 6th. During the next two months, LUISS University will host leading experts in governance, social and cultural innovation and many other issues.
Last semester LabGov hosted lots of debates concerning different topics and across intresting points of view. We dealt with social and rural innovation, new administrative ways to create collaborative governance and other forms of collaboration for the commons.
Among the many LabGov guests who will speak, there will be the great opening of Ernesto Belisario. Ernesto is a an administrative lawyer and successfully engaged in several institutional working groups to manage the Italian Digital Agenda – He is also been appointed as digital champion last year.
With Ernesto, LabGov will address the possibility to open administrative procedures to a more collaborative approach by using open data tools.

The Ubiquitous Commons – the Commons in the age of Ubiquitous Technology – is an international research effort dedicated to understanding the transformation of data, information and knowledge in the age of ubiquitous technologies. It acts in ways which are completely interdisciplinary, moving across scientific and humanistic research, arts and design, institutional and economic action, activism and advocacy, urban studies and rural innovation. The network of experts comprises scholars, lawyers, professors, writers and artists from all over the world, such as David Bollier and Michel Bauwens. LabGov recently joined the team thanks through the scientific contribution of Christian Iaione, LabGov coordinator . The project goes through education processes, research, development, near future design scenarios and aesthetic actions which are intended to broaden the perception of “possibility” for both people and organizations, in constructive, enabling the formation of novel points of view and possibilities.
The hacker Salvatore Iaconesi and the artist and writer Oriana Persico – who wrote recently an article appeared on Nòva24 on Il Sole 24 Ore – are the coordinators of the project. Salvatore and Oriana created AOS – Art is Open Source, which – in their words – is “an international informal network exploring the mutation of societies through the ubiquitous digital technologies”. This – and other issues – they explained in one of the meetings at LabGov the last year.
The article about Ubiquitous Commons underlines as it could give a great response to manage our data spread in the net.
Horizon 2020 is making Europe change its direction and DG Connect is now dealing with responsible innovation and research. These two areas have become cross-cutting issues and they have been discussing in February during a workshop opened to the debates between stakeholders about strategies for 2016-17.
Among many topics, there will be Big Data, Social networks, Health, Smart cities and communities, Robotics and algorithms. The way to face them is the so-called Concept reengineering.
Social issues advisor Nicole Dewandre explains that the key is Hyper-connectivity: the capability of being connected each other, both offline and online. To do this, it is necessary to re-design different concepts such as Privacy, Freedom, Identity, Attention, Justice and Responsiveness. This is DG Connect’s vision: technology has to achieve new goals in terms of creating of new meaning with social, cultural and anthropological impacts.
A human revolution, not a technological one. The key is finding a way to convert the Data we produce in a relational ecosystem, instead of using them for business logic. According to commons theorist Elinor Ostrom, focusing just on resources is not enough: the quality of relations allows its equal management.
In this scenario, Ubiquitous Commons could be a great response to manage data ownership. By creating legal and technological toolkits, the aim of the project is to create new forms of collaboration among citizens, in which responsibility and rights are re-designed in order to guarantee data access. This innovative kind of plug-in for our internet browsers associates cryptography, peer-to-peer networks and user-generated licences. The mechanism is fully cooperative and collaborative: people, communities, institutions and businesses can create new licences of different nature.
Using Ubiquitous Commons EU citizens could regain the ownership of their data spread in the net. Ubiquitous Commons is currently an empirical research project. An active endorsement by the EU could turn it into a strategic public policy in the future.

L’iperconnettività da governare – UBIQUITOUS COMMONS su Nòva24!
Ubiquitous Commons è uno sforzo di ricerca internazionale dedicato alla comprensione della trasformazione di dati, informazioni e conoscenze nell’era delle tecnologie onnipresenti. Agisce in modi che siano completamente interdisciplinari, si muovono attraverso la ricerca scientifica e umanistica, arte e design, l’azione istituzionale ed economica, l’attivismo e l’avvocatura, studi urbani e innovazione rurale. La rete di esperti è composta da studiosi, avvocati, professori, scrittori e artisti provenienti da tutto il mondo, come David Bollier e Michel Bauwens. LabGov si è recentemente unito al team grazie al contributo scientifico di Christian Iaione, coordinatore di LabGov. Il progetto passa attraverso processi di educazione, ricerca, sviluppo, vicino scenari progettuali e azioni future estetici che sono destinati ad ampliare la percezione di “possibilità” per le persone e le organizzazioni, permettendo la formazione di nuovi punti di vista e possibilità.
L’hacker Salvatore Iaconesi e l’artista e scrittrice Oriana Persico – che hanno scritto recentemente un articolo apparso su Nòva24 su Il Sole 24 Ore – sono i coordinatori del progetto. Salvatore e Oriana hanno creato AOS – Art is Open Source, che – con loro parole – è “una rete informale internazionale esplorare la mutazione delle società attraverso le tecnologie digitali onnipresenti“. Questo – e altre questioni – hanno spiegato in uno dei seminari di LabGov lo scorso anno.
L’articolo su Ubiquitous Commons mette in evidenza le possibilità di gestire la diffusione dei nostri dati in rete.

The next 2nd and 3rd March the TUTUR final conference will take place in Rome. In these two days, the experiences from around Europe and Italy will be presented in the conference room of Palazzo Taverna in the III District of Rome.
TUTUR is a pilot project financed by the URBACT program , which aims at developing a policy instrument to allow and support temporary uses of abandoned and under-used properties by opening up to new models of experimentation. The project foresees the implementation of this practice in Rome, in Itay, and Alba Iulia, in Romania, based on the good practice of Bremen: the ZwischenZeitZentrale . It activates many buildings and supports the City Administration in the urban planning long-term plans.
Temporary use is a planning tool effectively bringing together various stakeholders: it engages an important number of municipal and private economic development agencies and property owners, as well as cultural organizations, to elaborate potential uses of existing infrastructure and resources.
LabGov collaborated in the local support group of TUTUR during the event Under the viaduct . The project, that has been one of the activities of G124 – a working group supported by Renzo Piano, concerned the regeneration and temporary use of the area placed under the Viaduct of the Presidents, in the Nuovo Salario quarter of Rome. Moreover, Professor Iaione – coordinator of LabGov – partecipated in the roundtable at the Conference Il mercato al centro , together with experts and local public officers, bringing the experience of the LUISS Community Garden and CO- Mantova.
During the two-day event, the partners will deal with different topics such as “markets as reactivator of neighbourhoods and short food chain distribution”; “European good practices in terms of temporary reuse”; “Theory of Cohesion policy”.
There will be – among all speakers who will come – Emily Berwyn an experienced project designer and manager for programmes that utilise vacant space to support community initiatives, social and creative entrepreneurialism and facilitate placemaking; Stephanie Raab, who advises companies, property managers, local governments and owners in project development and with regard to funding opportunities, inter alia, within the commercial vacancy projects and accompanied project developments in the cultural sector accounts.

TUTUR – Conferenza finale
I prossimi 2 e 3 marzo si terrà a Roma la conferenza finale del progetto TUTUR. Durante l’incontro, che avrà luogo presso il Palazzo Taverna ( III Municipio di Roma), saranno presentate esperienze italiane e europee in materia di uso temporaneo dei siti dismessi come strumento di rigenerazione urbana.
TUTUR è un progetto pilota europeo che ha come obiettivo lo sviluppo di uno strumento normativo per permettere e promuovere l’utilizzo temporaneo di edifici abbandonati, snellendone il processo burocratico ed aprendo a nuovi modelli di sperimentazione. Il progetto vede coinvolto il Comune di Roma, di Brema e di Alba Iulia (Romania); il modello è proprio uno strumento della città tedesca, lo ZwischenZeitZentrale, che ha promosso il riutilizzo temporaneo di molti immobili abbandonati.
