Un laboratorio territoriale per il Design dei Servizi: Il caso di “Nutrire Milano, energie per il cambiamento”

This paper starts from a definition shared by the design of services and the «territorialist school» (Magnaghi, 2000), according to which a place is the bearer of a series of values, meanings and capital resources which are the result of interactions between the communities which exist in it and the surrounding environment. It then tries to shed light on the specificities, instruments and duties of the discipline of design, through the case of the Nutrire Milano, energie per il cambiamento project. After describing how design works in this community workshop, the paper expresses the desirability of integration between urban planning and design, so that with the respective expertise of each of them, local communities might evolve in favour of sustainability.
