Introduction by Ugo Ferrari

Cities, neighbourhoods and communities. These are the common public goods which we are called upon to administer, in the conviction that they are relational as well as physical spaces. They are shared spaces that belong to the community. Within this framework, the concept of city which we have in mind is crucial for social cohesion. Planning spaces in a way that fosters sharing means safeguarding social cohesion and not giving in to indifference, fear and seclusion. It means ensuring vital nourishment to enable the renewal of active citizenship from one generation to the next.

Today, globalisation profoundly changes time-space reference frames for those who are in charge of administration, and for citizens too. Local boundaries are progressively moving towards the wider arena, technological innovation facilitates communications and increases opportunities for social encounter, and intercultural encounters are an integral part of our daily life.

At the same time, the demand for sustainable and people-oriented cities and real, concrete relationships is increasing. Therefore, the real challenge for administrators is to match different needs and find a balanced and harmonious compromise between potentially opposing forces. It is necessary to keep up with the times and, in the meanwhile, to maintain our own common and individual identity.

In this process, the contribution that everyone can make to the surrounding context and to ones neighbour becomes very valuable. If Reggio Emilia is the city of people then we owe it to all those who spontaneously carry out acts of social solidarity and responsibility, as this book will remind us, as well as to fidelity to a specific idea of local governance which places the individual at the core.

Indeed, there are 104 social cooperatives, 263 volunteering organisations and 229 social promotion associations with as many as 280,000 members and 26,000 volunteers who each day give their time and skills to the community. This is a precious asset which reveals an immeasurable social capital in which the Municipal administration has always believed, a belief which is reflected primarily in its effort to relate and make visible these countless stories of solidarity in I Reggiani, per esempio .

The idea that our experience may also represent an asset for Europe itself, where we feel we are playing a leading role, is a source of pride and satisfaction based on the fact that Reggio Emilia can clearly represent a social model that has the ability to inspire innovative European projects.

Ugo Ferrari

Deputy Mayor of Reggio Emilia

The city as a covenant between responsible parties by Graziano Delrio

Growth, innovation, and the lives of citizens will increasingly be concentrated in cities. It is cities, increasingly, which will drive countries out of recession and economic crisis. The progressive change that is currently taking place in Asia and South America equally concerns the Old Continent, Europe, and Italy.

The legitimate hope for a better quality of life for the millions of people who are urbanising on a massive scale, puts a significant pressure on the most specific and political dimension of urban life: the practice of citizenship.

The air of the city will set you free is an ancient adage of Hanseatic cities: the city is born out of a social contract between free and mutually responsible people.

To this day, the social contract continues to make us free and responsible men and women. This pact is built upon the relationship with the others and the Other, as something or someone yet unknown. Within this plural dimension, created by relationships between different parties, we are, apart than citizens, people.

If a city, small or large, fails protect this concept, it loses its own essence and social capital, with the latter interpreted asas the ability of all to create relations and reciprocity, trust and social well-being.

This is the reason why experiences such as those conducted within Europeans, for Example and the prior project born in Reggio Emilia I Reggiani, per esempio are so fundamental and will be herein discussed.

The impact of globalisation on peoples lives, the crisis of traditional political , parties, and the weakening of social cohesion are all factors that have triggered the local administration of Reggio Emilia to reflect upon the need to revive the sense of belonging to a civil community.

Hence, the public authority has adopted a motivating role of governance, highlighting the city as a public good and as the pivotal locus for the right of citizenship. Through the vital experience of volunteering, which is fortunately deeply rooted in our society and articulated as a civic call, it has been possible to restore and renew the practice of citizenship awareness.
