Context
CO-Roma is a project of LabGov (LABoratory for the GOVernance of the city of Rome as a common good), which fosters social and economic activities in the city of Rome to increase the local communities social, economic and environmental sustainability. The ultimate goal is to develop, design and test a strategy for the governance of urban commons which can enable the city itself to be considered as a common to all citizens.
Description of Activity
Co-Roma project is a coalition of different actors (associations; enterprises; social partners; educational institutions; etc.) who have embarked on a common path towards the enhancement, promotion and management of the commons in the city of Rome. The project offers a place to collect, share, incubate and develop new projects that aim to build collaborative neighbourhood communities through common cultural and social traditions. The project operates on various 'working sites' open in the city of Rome, the main one is the Roma Sud-Est co-district. Heritage walks, meetings and workshops, together with micro-regeneration activities, such as revitalizing the Archaeological Park of Centocelle have been carried out through the past years .The need to rediscover and enhance the cultural heritage of “priority complex districts” to foster new forms of sustainable economic and social development is the driving force behind the Co-Roma project, which it has been pursuing since 2015 by fully applying the principles of the Faro Convention.
