Abstract

The paper aims to present the results of the tur(i)ntogreen initiative - organized by the CRD-PVS (Politecnico di Torino - IT) and backed by UN-HABITAT - on low-carbon visions for urban neighbourhood. The boundaries of the contemporary cities are transforming together with the changing in the citizens’ life perspective. The fragile and lost balance between ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ is quickly evolving. Younger generations from the rural areas in the world keep moving toward cities, claiming the right to share the benefits supplied by services, wealth and employment. Turin - the Italian motown – has been traditionally the home for people coming from other sides of the Country and now of the World. South Mirafiori neighbourhood represents the heritage of what the idea of an endless urban development and growth left in our cities. Not flexible and energy wasting buildings, hard to be adjusted to the new model of families and their needs, these areas are one of the contemporary urban challenges. Nevertheless, being often located in the urban outskirts make them privileged points to reflect on the urban de-growth. The paper outlines the competition brief, defined by crossing topics such as urban agriculture, energy neighbourhood, low carbon design, shared spaces for seasonal workers and community engagement.
