The aim of the SME Garden project (i.e. the School of Management and Economics' vegetable garden) is the aesthetic and functional redevelopment of a part of the University of Turin that has been unused and abandoned for years, including as a waste dump. The idea is to use the paradigm of the New European Bauhaus applied to urban regeneration, and the redevelopment of a place through food. The material used to build-up of the infrastructure are completely retrieved through circular economy processes. In particular, a co-design and co-creation of a space dedicated to the production of fruit and vegetables through container gardens was used.
Challenge addressed
Cross-KIC ITt Food citizen-centred engagement programmes aligned with the NEB mission of environmental, social and cultural initiative to combine the aesthetic experience, sustainability, and inclusivity complimenting the European Green Deal.
Solution proposed, focus area
The creation of the box gardens was done by implementing a process of co-creation and co-design of the area in question. A mapping of local actors was carried out, and collaborative and co-designing relationships were activated. Specifically, in addition to several visits by students, lecturers and administrative staff representing university citizenry, the project also involved citizens, elders, and a nursery school, and created a network with other urban garden initiatives in the city, as well as interacting with a social cooperative that manages urban gardens in a neighboring area and the citizen hub that deals with the social inclusion of disabled people grouping all the main relevant organisations. During the meetings, the spaces, management rules, stakeholder needs, inclusive design, crops, and types of plants were co-designed and co-selected. At a later stage, the area was also cleared of 860 kg of waste. The choice of plants was made by rediscovering the historical memory of the local elders.
Target Groups
- University citizenry, elders, citizens, disabled people
- Main activities / milestones
- Enhancing urban stakeholder communication
- Multi-stakeholder engagement actions
- Clean-up action
- Co-construction and renovation of a public space
Partnership
- City of Turin (Fusilli and Progireg research projects)
- VOV102 and Orti Generali
- Consulta per le persone in Difficoltà
- AIESEC and other students’ associations
Expected results
Salvaged and refurbished wood from unsold and discarded material (such as railway sleepers) was used to build the infrastructure. It was estimated that approximately 52 to 60 quintals of virgin wood were saved. The main result is the creation of a community garden shared between citizenship and university citizenry.
