Città a misura di studenti Il Living Lab come abilitatore nel progetto Puglia Regione Universitaria

Abstract

The contribution presents the results gathered at the F.U.C.I. National Congress, during which the Living Lab methodology was tested through focus groups with university students from a national audience to collect feedback on the innovation of the right to study in urban contexts. The reflections took place within the “Puglia Regione Universitaria: studying and living in welcoming and sustainable cities” project, whose goal is to build shared and participatory planning, policies, and interventions aimed at improving the relationship between the university and urban systems. The aim is to assess whether and how the Living Lab methodology can facilitate student involvement in innovating the right to study and reshaping the relationship between the city and the university. The many feedbacks received and the high level of student involvement may encourage research centres, government departments, and universities to use the adopted methodology to gather suggestions from and for students to make cities liveable and student-friendly.
