3. HERISCAPE PROPOSAL

Referring to WP3 outcomes, Heriscape proposes two possibilities:

1. Development and collection of housing guidelines and best practices with municipalities in Emilia- Romagna as case studies for research and learning activities

2. Organize and follow a participatory action in the territory of Rimini (Emilia Romagna) with the Welfare work group of the Strategic Plan, together with the Architect Association.

Heriscape proposal for OIKONET


With OIKOS centro studi, the team now working with Heriscape, developed and published two researches concerning HOUSING in Emilia Romagna:

• “Housing forms and traces: a social answer to the urban quality in Emilia Romagna”

• “Toward a new urban project: The experience of the II neighborhood contracts in Emilia Romagna”

3.1 Housing experiences in Emilia Romagna

3.1 Heriscape proposal | Housing experiences in Emilia- Romagna Romagna

“Housing forms and traces: a social answer to the urban quality in Emilia Romagna”


A critical selection of Housing interventions realized with public funding in Emilia-Romagna (from 1980 till 2000) An instrument and tool for professionals and institutions working with the territory useful to: • understand the ongoing processes; • evaluate and verify the efficiency of the housing policies; • orientate and suggest strategies and design solutions suitable

to a society deeply changing and changed.


Montegridolfo (Rimini)| Historic center rehabilitation and revitalization |1990-1995

“Housing forms and traces: a social answer to the urban quality in Emilia Romagna”

Works: • Recovery of the historic area inside the wall; • Replacement of the pavement and main

supply network; • Recovery of the public properties. • Realization of the Gothic line Museum; • Recovery of private building for subsidize

housing • Realization of 5 public housing lodging, by

upgrading one building and reconstructing the adjacent one;

• Renewal of 5 public housing (public property)

“Towards a new urban project” The experience of the II neighborhood contracts in Emilia-Romagna”


The experience of II neighborhood contracts in Emilia-Romagna mainly concerns urban rehabilitation and renovation interventions promoted by the municipalities. The core of these programs are Housing policies.

The research underlines the need of developing actions capable of integrating different levels of managing and planning the territory (policies, plans and projects).

The Italian suburbs are compromised due to the lack of urban quality in the services or in the public spaces.

The suburbs become object of institutions interest trough the neighborhood contracts

Participation process in the II neighborhood contracts are conceived:

“Toward a new urban project: The experience of the II neighborhood contracts in Emilia-Romagna”

3.1 Heriscape proposal | Housing experiences in Emilia- Romagna

For the architect and the municipality: awareness of needs and requests Conflicts prevention thanks to communication dialog, and sharing

Decision are oriented thanks to the participation process.

As tool for knowlegde and awareness

As an element for social

integration and mediation

As a moment of urban democracy
