The City of Turin is defining its new City Masterplan, one of the main tools to govern the spatial transformation of the municipal territory. It works on the physical dimension of the city, but can contribute to rethinking the future Torino in many other aspects: greenery, mobility, economic development, citizen services, housing policies, social and welfare policies.
Preparing, approving and adopting it is a long-term process that has to comply with regional legislation, its timing, procedures and constraints. As for now, the preparation of the City Masterplan is in its second phase, which will lead to the drafting of the Preliminary Project.
A legal tool, and a bureaucratic process, the Plan concerns the entire community: for this reason, it is important that the content, objectives and tasks that the Plan foresees are shared with those who live in Torino, use it and take care of it.
For these reasons, starting from June 2023, Urban Lab and the City of Torino have promoted a set of initiatives to listen to the territory. Through meetings, workshops, presentations, activities in the districts, and moments of discussion in neighboring municipalities, we are imagining what the city of tomorrow will be like.
October in the 8 Districts
From 20 to 22 October the engagement process stops by the 8 City Districts: participating is an important opportunity for citizens, communities, stakeholders and organizations to have a say about Torino’s future. No particular expertise in urban planning is required: what is needed instead is the desire and willingness to listen and discuss.
How to participate
- filling out the online survey dedicated to anyone who lives, studies or works in Turin;
- joining one of the public events in the 8 Districts;
- visiting one of the 8 information points, to receive information regarding ongoing initiatives, to know about the next steps of the engagement activities, to ask questions and offer comments, critiques and proposals.
Jointly with the outcomes of the previous (and following) phase of the engagement process, all observations and suggestions collected during the “Districts days” will feed the development of the preliminary draft Plan.
