ABSTRACT

Faced with the series of recent global crises, current consumption and production models have questioned many practices implemented so far where the quantitative approach moved to a qualitative scale. Recognizing in the urban context an organism capable of optimizing infrastructural and ecological resources, technologies open to economic models and entrepreneurial alternatives of participatory culture as a tool for involvement and self-organization. The research analyses the urban production field, through a series of surveys aimed to define a framework made within the urban digital manufacturing panorama, highlighting the commitment of public initiatives up to those private ones and roles covered by their actors within the urban network. By approaching the Lazio region as a case study, the research investigates those best practices to structure those guidelines and aims to stimulate social innovation interactions, shared knowledge economies, and daily good practices of resilient citizenship.
