The new Iperbole: more accessible, digital, and closer to citizens

Approach The Municipality of Bologna is one of the few Metropolitan Cities in Italy that has consistently promoted digitalization for local authorities within its metropolitan area—and now, through this project, for 100 other entities across the region as well. It is also the first major municipality to launch its fully redesigned platform, compliant with NRRP measure 1.4.1 – Informed Citizen and Active Citizen. We supported the Municipality using an Agile Scrum methodology, reusing an existing platform and extending it to meet the requirements and guidelines of the PNRR, in full synergy and collaboration with the client. Solution The initiative began as an extension of the project launched with the Municipality […]

A Public Administration that is aware, accessible, and barrier-free

Municipia, a company of the […]

Social Welfare District: Territorial and Community Brokerage System for Integrated Welfare

Approccio The project stems from the need to bridge the gap in the governance of data related to local welfare. Available data on citizens’ needs, provided services, and the locations and methods of integration were fragmented, incomplete, or inconsistent, thus creating a decision-making deficit. Social infrastructure plays a fundamental role in promoting community well-being and cohesion and should be considered a key element in the design of urban transformation initiatives. Data must undoubtedly be included among social infrastructure: without knowledge, it is impossible to understand, plan, or measure the impact of interventions. We analyzed the available datasets and identified those needed to complete the analyses required to define standard socio-economic […]

URBREATH: addressing urban climate neutrality in European cities

Approach The increase in extreme weather events, such as floods and heat waves, is due to climate change that makes cities increasingly vulnerable environments and accentuates social problems such as poverty and exclusion. The lack of quality NBS makes the situation worse, especially in those neglected urban areas where there is an urgent need for social and technological revitalization in order to improve the quality of life. Up to now, the prevailing approach to green revitalization and planning is often reduced to cost/profit criteria that often do not give a return on investment, failing to attract funding, people and businesses to these areas. The conventional approach also tends to neglect [...]
