T-Factor Project

The T-Factor book is available online! ✨ 📘 With this publication, we aim to showcase how temporary uses can be concretely leveraged during urban redevelopments towards sustainable, inclusive and equitable cities. 🏭 In this book, written by Marta Arniani from Futuribile and Laura Martelloni, T-Factor coordinator, you will find temporary uses and placemaking practices developed within T-Factor project, intended to inspire practitioners, policy makers and grassroots initiatives 🧐 Check how urban regeneration can become a participatory lab for addressing urban challenges Download it here:  🔗 https://lnkd.in/dMbFBjAy #tfactor #horizon2020 #urbanregeneration #temporaryuse #justtransition #cities 

Il futuro degli usi temporanei nei percorsi di rigenerazione urbana sono stati oggi al centro dell'evento conclusivo di T-Factor Project, progetto finanziato dal programma #Horizon2020 e coordinato da Anci Toscana: 4 anni di sperimentazioni e ricerca, 25 partner in 12 paesi, 10 miliardi di investimenti nei siti pilota. Grazie a questa esperienza, in Toscana sono allo studio un bando regionale per i Comuni sugli usi temporanei e un percorso specifico di formazione da parte della Regione Toscana insieme ad Anci Toscana, aperto non solo alle grandi città ma anche ai centri più piccoli. ➡ Maggiori informazioni t-factor.eu #usitemporanei #rigenerazioneurbana

On the second day of the T-Factor Final Event, we traveled to Livorno, where we got the chance to delve into the history of the city in a boat tour through its canals. After that, we visited the Creative Hangars project, an abandoned complex of the Livorno Transport Company that will transformed into a place for cultural and social initiatives with the active participation of local communities and stakeholders. We were guided through the process by Giorgio De Ambrogio from KCity - Rigenerazione urbana, and accompanied by the Livorno City Mayor, Luca Salvetti, and Silvia Viviani, Deputy Mayor of Urban planning. Thank you so much for this inspiring example of temporary use as a strategy to regenerate abandoned spaces and create social value! #temporaryuses #meanwhile #horizon2020
