In occasione dei 50 anni dall’approvazione del Decreto Interministeriale 1444/1968, meglio noto come Decreto sugli standard urbanistici, si terrà a Venezia presso il palazzo Badoer il seminario nazionale del SIU (Società Italiana degli Urbanisti), “CINQUANT’ANNI DI STANDARD URBANISTICI (1968-2018)”.
Nel seminario ci sarà occasione di rileggere la norma sugli standard urbanistici in correlazione al tema del welfare urbano, per poter così riflettere su quelle pratiche e discorsi che hanno determinato i suoi enunciati e i ruoli.
Sarà inoltre dibattuto il ruolo che il decreto ha avuto nella edificazione delle città, nel patrimonio di suoli e manufatti pubblici, nel benessere collettivo e nella democratizzazione dello spazio urbano.
Vi sarà poi modo di analizzare la nuova rotta che sta prendendo la società e la città contemporanea nella indagine sperimentale di nuove dimensioni del benessere individuale e collettivo, e di conseguenza come il decreto possa essere considerato ancora attuale e in grado di far fronte alle prorompenti novità, oppure si debba cominciare a pensare a una sua revisione.
Nella due giorni prenderà parte, in rappresentanza di LabGov, la dottoressa Elena De Nictolis, la quale parlerà dei nuovi usi e gestioni delle attrezzature di interesse comune.

La politica industriale può trovare nella domanda della pubblica amministrazione un valido strumento per l’influenza di cui si avvale quest’ ultima nel mercato, nelle filiere produttive e nella qualità dell’occupazione.
Oggi però, affinché possa essere realmente efficace, è auspicabile un cambio di impostazione. Infatti, per poter sfruttare meglio gli appalti, sarebbe più che utile passare da un approccio prettamente amministrativo a uno più strategico.
Per favorire questa transizione, Confindustria insieme ad AgID e alla Conferenza delle Regioni e delle Province autonome, con la collaborazione di ITACA, hanno sottoscritto il Protocollo d’intesa, col quale si mira a incentivare la conoscenza e l’utilizzo degli appalti innovativi.
Solo la collaborazione fra pubblico e privato può favorire questo cambio di prospettiva.
Di questo, e di molto altro, si parlerà nel convegno, promosso da Confindustria, AGID e Conferenza delle Regioni e delle Province autonome e ITACA, “GESTIRE LA DOMANDA PUBBLICA COME LEVA DI INNOVAZIONE”.
Al convegno parteciperanno i firmatari del Protocollo, dell’ANAC, della Commissione europea e dei Ministeri più direttamente interessati oltre a molti dei maggiori esperti e interpreti della innovazione pubblica e privata.
Anche LabGov sarà presente alla conferenza portando la sua testimonianza nel campo dell’ open procurement e dell’open innovation.

In collaboration with The Karl Polanyi Institute of Political Economy, the School of Community and Public Affairs, and the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, the Center for research on social innovations – CRISES is hosting Sheila Foster (Professor of Law and Public Policy at Georgetown University and Co-Director of LabGov) and Christian Iaione (Professor of Land Use, Regulatory Innovation, Urban Law and Policy at LUISS Guido Carli University School of Law and Co-Director LabGov) for the lecture “Ostrom in the City: from the urban commons to the Co-City”.
“Ostrom in the City: from the urban commons to the Co-City” signifies a shift in the study of urban commons towards an innovative governance model that has the potential to address the main challenges our cities are facing today. Sheila Foster and Christian Iaione have developed this framework through years of academic research and experimentations in cities. They take reference from Elinor Ostrom’s groundbreaking research about collaborative management of common pool resources, or commons, for economic and environmental sustainability adapting the Ostrom design principle to the urban context with the aim of rethinking the governance of cities and the management of their resources. Urban commons are different from natural resources and more traditional commons in important ways, so the adaptation of Ostrom’s theories to the urban context implied an extensive research.
The study at the basis of their Co-City model surveyed 100+ cities around the world to extract from these examples a set of design principles that resulted distinctively different from those offered by Elinor Ostrom but kept the potentiality of paving the way towards a transition to more fair, inclusive, sustainable, resilient futures given existing patterns of urbanization and the contested nature of urban resources.

The event will take place on Wednesday, December 5, 2018, 5 pm – 7 pm, at Concordia University, Atrium – Samuel Bronfman Building, 1590 Dr. Penfield (corner Cote-des-neiges).

An international symposium dedicated to City Agencies and Urban Think Tanks, in which scholars, policy-makers, practitioners, city- makers, and students as much as representatives from NGOs, cultural, administrative, political and funding institutions will be involved in a conversation concerning how is it possible for EU citizens to contribute to the definition of the agenda for the cities they live in, and to influence the shaping of EU policies for cities.
The conference will take place in Turin from the 4th to the 6th of November and is organized by the Urban Center of the City of Torino as part of EUCANET, the European Agencies Network for citizenship, inclusion, involvement and empowerment of communities through the urban transformation process. EUCANET involves five partners from four countries: Urban Center Metropolitano Torino and Urban Center Bologna from Italy, City of Marseille from France, city of Skopje from Macedonia and Cluj Metropolitan Area Intercommunity Development Association from Romania.
The symposium will host a key-note speech, two main sessions and a number of practice-oriented workshops. During the conference people and organizations gathered from all Europe will be involved in the delivery of a Policy brief summarizing the potentialities and possible new roles to be played by City Agencies and Urban Thinks Tanks, from proactively feeding local urban debate, to connecting local issues to the EU policy-making level, to strengthening our common European urban culture.
Elena De Nictolis, Head Researcher at LabGov, will give a key-note speech at the round table on “City agencies as enabling tools” together with Corrado Topi from the Stockholm Environment Institute, moderated by Marco Demarie, Compagnia di San Paolo and Levente Polyàk, Eutropian.
The other round table participants will be: Toni Masevski, City of Skopje; Federica Fulghesu, NESTA Italia; Øystein Leonardsen, City of Copenhagen; Andres Blanco, Inter- American Development Bank; Carla Tedesco, Comune di Bari.

The conference ‘Blockchain, Public Trust, Law and Governance’ will take place at the University of Groningen on November 29 and 30. It will bring together reputed academics, talented professionals, and a selection of innovative entrepreneurs working on blockchain to discuss the applications of this technology to government as well as its regulatory, ethical and policy challenges.
Throughout the world, governments are experimenting with blockchain in different areas. However, it remains a black box to many citizens, public bodies, and companies. This in itself raises concerns for areas where democratic processes are essential to create legitimacy. Additionally, many question whether the technology is stable and secure over the long-run, if total transparency is desirable for all kinds of public services, whether it is scalable enough or consumes too much energy, what its social impact is, whether existing legal frameworks are challenged by this system, and how the technology and its users can be “fixed” if mistakes occur. Hence, the ‘trust machine’ has not been able to conquer the minds and hearts of many skeptical public and private actors.
Elena De Nictolis, Head Researcher at LabGov, will attend the conference and exchange with the participants on LabGov’s experience on the blockchain issue.
