La sezione “Ricerche”, come da iniziativa avviata alla fine dell’estate per allargare la rete delle collaborazioni e condividere i risultati di ricerca su argomenti affini a quelli trattati da Labsus, torna a pubblicare un saggio scritto da due studiose, comparso su una prestigiosa rivista internazionale che fa il punto sui risultati raggiunti a Bologna dall’Amministrazione condivisa (collaborative governance) negli ultimi anni. Siamo quindi lieti di ospitare nella nostra sezione l’articolo di ricerca in lingua inglese di Roberta Bartoletti (Università degli Studi di Urbino Carlo Bo) e Franca Faccioli (Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza), Civic Collaboration and Urban Commons. Citizen’s Voices on a Public Engagement Experience in an Italian City, pubblicato in “Partecipazione e Conflitto”, Vol. 13, N. 2 (luglio 2020). Seguirà l’abstract del saggio, mentre in calce sarà possibile trovare il pdf dell’articolo pubblicato sulla Rivista Partecipazione e Conflitto (PaCo).
Abstract
The article focuses on “public engagement” and recent modifications in citizen participation through a case study regarding the “collaborative governance” of urban commons in the city of Bologna (Italy). Civic collaboration is an experimental partnership which is being implemented between public administrations and citizens in order to develop, treat and reuse commons with a view to improving the quality of life in cities. The goal of the project is to understand whether, and how, civic collaboration is also transforming citizen participation in local public policies. This article presents the results of research which was performed by interviewing citizens who are involved in the collaborative governance of urban commons. This contribution aims to connect the literature regarding “open government” and its impact on participation with the consolidated debate regarding the role of culture in the conception of citizenship and civic engagement and, as a consequence, in the effectiveness of collaborative governance. Particular attention was paid to citizen engagement, and to the role performed by both public and private platforms and digital media.
