Coprogettazione: costruzione collettiva di azioni di governo della città nelle politiche temporali urbane

In the international debate on governance and on the means of the collective decision-making of public policies/town plans/urban and territorial projects, the article proposes and discusses the co-design approach strengthened in the Italian urban time policies. It is at the same time a problem-solving and problem-setting approach. To clarify the concept of co-design are presented: the peculiar characteristics of co-design; an in-depth analysis of the position within the debate and practices of the proposed methodological design used in some urban time policies (methodology of design within the tradition of architecture and urban design and policy techniques and styles that is tradition of public policies); and a critical analysis of the problematic relationship between co-design practices and participatory practices.
