| description | We present a case-study of social innovation to counter deprivation and social
exclusion in Naples. The case, studied within the SINGOCOM research project, is
located in Scampia, an extremely deprived neighbourhood on the northern outskirts of
Naples. A network of civic associations, Piazziamoci, is trying to build a `piazza'
(square), as a place where the local community can meet and experience collective
initiatives, with the aim of (re)constructing social relations, especially among
young people. On the one hand, these social relations are inhibited and corrupted by
criminality and, on the other hand, by neglectful city planning. The civic network
succeeded in enhancing local social capital and fighting social exclusion;
furthermore, it developed a planning project for the `piazza' through direct citizen
participation. The use of ICTs had a relevant role in community networking. The
article assesses the socially innovative content of the Piazziamoci project and its
impact on neighbourhood dynamics, taking into consideration the intolerable living
conditions in the neighbourhood, and the difficult relations between the network and
the municipal government. |
