Diversità creativa di comunità: Universal Design, creatività e cultura per immaginare luoghi e ambienti urbani di qualità e inclusivi

The paper introduces the outcomes of the collaborative path on the communities' creative diversity for an accessible and inclusive public city, in which each citizen has opportunities to contribute and act towards a high quality of places. The developed path aims to solicit a renovated approach to the design focusing on human and ecosystem well-being and health. Two points of view have been chosen: the inclusion for the creative diversity of communities and the cultural hybridization as a lever for community regeneration. The public city project must be based on the principle that diversities are resources for renewal and imagination for possible futures and enable everyone to contribute to strengthening the resilience of the complex system. The inclusive public can contribute to tangible and intangible cultural heritage valorization in coherence with the Action Plan of the Faro Convention on the value of cultural heritage for society.
