Co-evolutionary, Transformative, and Economic Resilience During the COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis. Evidence-Based Experiences of Urban Community Design in Turin (Italy)

Abstract

This article seeks to interpret co-evolutionary and transformative resilience in a broad sense, with the aim of understanding how it may come into the practices of urban planning and project-making, innovating project procedures and generating economic effects. This article studies this through the case of Bottom up!, the Turin-based Festival of Architecture, and observes the procedures through which resilience takes action in different territories, interpreting territorial problems and crises such as the pandemic, viewing them as opportunities to innovate the system, suggesting integrated action on the natural, cultural, financial and social capital, experimenting with new practices, and holding institutions accountable.
