We-Z Roma - EUI INNOVATION ACTION
My Knowledge Outputs
Since March 2024 I support the District III of Rome - Montesacro and its large quadruple-helix partnership in my capacity of EUI IA-Expert.
We-Z is testing a transitional model of urban regeneration to improve mental health in young people. Actions focus on Vigne Nuove, a 1970s public housing complex in District III on the north-eastern periphery of Rome. The development was never completed, and is now characterised by a sense of neglect and isolation. This project was set up to experiment a ‘de-medicalised’ approach to urban regeneration, activating collective imaginations and co-creation activities, building affective bonds between people and places.
