La città è di tutti. Ciò che ha valore non ha prezzo

If you don’t consume, you don’t exist. This is the message that urban spaces repeat every day: you pay for leisure time, parking, sport, transport, even nature. Sitting in the shade, drinking from a fountain, playing ball in a courtyard are becoming increasingly rare sights in our cities. It is time to rewrite the rules of what is possible: what in public spaces can and must be accessible, free, and for everyone. In this book, Elena Granata looks to the future by starting with the signs already present in our time, amidst ideas and innovations that are reshaping the way we live together. Assets to be exchanged and shared, to be used without owning; a dimension linked to freed-up time and relationships. New needs linked to living, which is not just about having a home, but sharing time and space with a wider community. Above all, among the younger generations, the desire for a different life—one that is freer and more collaborative—is taking shape. This is why a counter-narrative is urgently needed: the story of a different vision of the city.
