LIBRI DI MONICA BERNARDI

Il volume raccoglie e propone le riflessioni di esperti e professionisti del settore turistico italiano, riguardo le sfide dei sistemi ricettivi, dei sistemi turistici, del settore della mobilità e dei trasporti, dei “nuovi turismi”, della digitalizzazione e del mercato del lavoro; sei macro temi attorno ai quali si sono sviluppati dibattiti e riflessioni su come affrontare la ripartenza dopo che la diffusione del Covid-19 ha messo a dura prova il turismo in Italia e nel mondo.

Il volume si interroga se il patrimonio di conoscenze in Italia abbia costituito un elemento di guida nell’azione politica di governo del territorio, partendo dall’ovvia considerazione che dietro ogni azione di intervento ci sia sempre un substrato culturale che sostiene l’azione stessa. Nella fase di stesura, l’Italia e il resto del mondo si sono improvvisamente trovati di fronte all’emergenza sanitaria per la diffusione del ceppo virale Sars CoV-2. Questo fatto eccezionale ha necessariamente modificato l’ordine delle riflessioni essendo cambiate le complessive condizioni sociali e di vita individuale, di cui si dà conto in particolare nei saggi introduttivi.

The article proposes the new emerging pooling forms of housing as expression of a new mutualisation wave and collective management of a shared resource, grounded on human connection and sharing; and it advances the emergence of a kind of "housing prosume". Grounding on Ostrom’s theory it applies the ‘City as a commons’ (Co-City) theoretical framework, trying to define whether inno¬vations represented by forms of housing based on pooling practices are able to trigger urban regeneration processes and thereby satisfying the need of afford¬able housing. It builds on the result of an ongoing research on the housing sector supported by Federcasa and LabGov and demonstrates the importance of the enabling role of the State and how the implementation of complex level of collec¬tive governance in the housing sector required new forms of partnerships and caution in their experimentation to trigger a process of urban regeneration.

To face and solve growing urban challenges, calls for innovative and creative solutions have become more and more commonplace. Although the promotion of a single successful social innovation policy might be relatively easy, to set up an ecosystem of social innovation that enables long-term changes requires more effort. According to the scientific literature, a systematic approach, new types of leadership and an appropriate governance model that is both multilevel and collaborative, are required. Following this theoretical framework, the author looks to an Asian city that can be considered in the vanguard of social innovation: Seoul. The mayor, Park Won-Soon is currently progressing with plans to build an innovation-led sharing city. This paper illustrates the creation of the social innovation ecosystem, with a special focus on the "Sharing City, Seoul" project. It examines the role of local government, its ability to rely on new intermediary organisations, and its efforts to modify the culture of the administration and improve citizen engagement. A qualitative approach based on multiple sources of evidence has enabled the development of a conceptual model that describes the current shape and features of the Seoul social innovation ecosystem. The results highlight the importance of conscious and targeted public action for the promotion and spread of pervasive sharing and innovative practices in the city.
