Descrizione del progetto
Rendere le città inclusive e sostenibili
Un consorzio di 12 partner provenienti da tutta l’UE sta affrontando una delle questioni sociali più urgenti di oggi: inclusione e sostenibilità. Tenendo conto delle nuove forme di cosiddette abitazioni mobili, il progetto SMARTDEST, finanziato dall’UE, prenderà in considerazione gli effetti delle mobilità turistiche sull’inclusione e la coesione urbane. Il suo obiettivo è quello di contribuire a programmi di politica urbana che prendano sul serio il turismo e i suoi effetti sociali. In particolare, il progetto analizzerà le mobilità turistiche e le abitazioni mobili come campi di forza trasformativi per i luoghi. Scaverà anche problematiche di esclusione sociale e pratiche di coping attraverso l’impegno con le comunità interessate nelle città caso di studio. Un altro compito è lo sviluppo di CityLab come sedi per la progettazione di soluzioni basate sulle persone e sul territorio.
Obiettivo
The SMARTDEST project tackles the societal challenge of social inclusion and sustainability in European cities by developing innovative solutions in the face of the conflicts and externalities that are emerging as a result of new forms of ‘mobile dwelling’. These encompass the rising cost of living, housing shortages, congestion of public services, the dislocation and marginalisation of low-income workers, and the transformation of place identities; all factors that point at avenues of exclusion of the most vulnerable sectors of resident communities. Faced with this, SMARTDEST’s overarching aim is to contribute towards urban policy agendas which take tourism and its social effects seriously. Its ambition is to fill a knowledge gap about the effects of tourism mobilities on urban inclusion and cohesion, and about the contextual, political and technological factors that determine fundamental variations in such effects; and to explore, design and test the validity of potential innovative pathways to mitigate social exclusion. The project thus includes 4 research packages that respectively (1) analyse tourism mobilities and mobile dwelling as transformative force-fields for places; (2) excavate social exclusion issues and coping practices through the engagement with affected communities in case study cities; (3) develop CityLabs as sites for the design of people-based and place-based solutions (both in the digital and non-digital realm) which demonstrate value for the broad ‘destination ecosystem’ of case study cities, and scale up as innovative systems of governance; (4) transfer the insights gained by the project at local level and extend their impacts through a dialogue with policy entities, concern communities, innovators and scientists throughout the EU policy space. The project is implemented by a consortium of 12 partners from 7 EU countries and 1 associated country, covering a broad range of academic skills; and engages with 8 case study cities.
