Introduction
Do you know what socio-cultural hybrid spaces are? In recent years, different spaces and ways have been created in Milan to produce generative welfare, create culture and participate in the renewal of a tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the cities in continuous transformation. An informal network of Milanese cultural realities, of socio-cultural hybrid spaces, felt the need to meet (virtually and physically) and confront each other, both to map and learn about the plurality of self-organized services, part of a collaborative welfare of a neighboring city, both to bring out the critical issues in the management of spaces that often clash in everyday life with obsolete and rigid regulations that do not accompany change.
In April 2021 the “Hybrid spaces of Milan. 1 Manifesto, 1 questionnaire, 1 map for the city 15 minutes away “, was presented to the Municipality of Milan and the city. Listening to the Mayor led to the establishment of a technical table and an inter-councilor political table which involved the Department of Culture, Urban Planning, Trade and Labor Policies, Welfare, Participation. In September 2021 the first national resolution (N. 1231 of L 24/09/2021) thanks to the Municipality of Milan which recognizes the hybrid spaces and defines the “Guidelines for the experimental establishment of a qualified list of places of socio-cultural innovation in the city of Milan called Network of Hybrid Spaces “.
On February 4, 2022, the Municipality of Milan promotes the first call for proposals “Qualified list of the Network of Hybrid Spaces of the city of Milan”, a map of those who make sociocultural innovation in Milan.
Now, however, there remain some open questions, questions to which to invite experts, activists, municipal technicians, associations to continue the action research work started with workshops and seminars, public meetings and walks, to tentatively define a path of co-design of actions and suggestions for public policies. Let’s open up to a local, national and international comparison to ask: what kind of socio-cultural hybrid spaces were born in your city? Where are these spaces? We will compare the Maps of Milan, Berlin, Amsterdam and other cities and national territories. We will ask ourselves: what kind of services are returned to the neighborhood for a nearby city? What kind of vision, public debate and co-design of policies for solidarity welfare (Cacciari, 2018) has been initiated with the Public Administration and local Authorities? How is the socio-cultural impact measured in your city? What kind of impact indicators?
Hybrid socio-cultural spaces are also part of open cities (Sennet, 2019). It is necessary to build more incomplete cities, with spaces that are not overdetermined in their functions, but “ambiguous”, flexible, porous. As a city becomes more open it will be able to accommodate adaptations, encourage dissonant uses of public space. The task of the radical planner, but also of the public administrator and sociocultural entrepreneurs is therefore to promote dissonance. Hybrid spaces can give home to the unexpected, the unscheduled, the mixed-use of different populations. Knowing how to recognize and activate new hybrid spaces will also make it possible to adopt new Open planning tools (Burkhardt, 1968; Inti, 2019), a “toolbox” to promote adaptable, flexible and inclusive spaces that are part of the transformation processes of parts of cities and territories.
The national and international workshop is part of a broader action-research “HYBRID SOCIOCULTURAL SPACES and OPEN CITIES. Places of community welfare for the city and neighboring territories” which includes new hybrid city space maps, workshops, international public meetings, public walks.
Launched in 2021 and supported in 2022 by the Cariplo Foundation, the action research includes various phases of investigation, interviews, questionnaires, mapping in different national and international contexts, public walks and co-design path of public policies with the Municipality of Milan. A “toolbox”, guidelines and tools will be proposed to activate both bottom-up and top-down hybrid socio-cultural spaces in new contexts, capable of communicating with diversity, welcoming the unexpected, giving shape to a city of proximity, an open city.
April 7-10, 2022
INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL WORKSHOP
OPEN CITIES and SOCIO-CULTURAL HYBRID SPACES
What kind of socio-cultural hybrid spaces were born in your city?
What kind of neighborhood services are returned to a neighborhood city?
What kind of vision, public debate and co-design of policies for solidarity welfare (Cacciari, 2018) has been initiated with the public administration and local authorities?
How is the socio-cultural impact measured in your city? What kind of impact indicators?
Four days of workshops and guided tours with international experts, the informal network of Milanese socio-cultural hybrid spaces, other national and Lombard cases to learn about, question, hypothesize new policies capable of overcoming obsolete, rigid regulations, redefining one’s own models on a practical basis organizational and managerial in order to be sustainable. How to accompany change and imagine new hybrid spaces, places capable of adapting and welcoming unexpected activities, with flexible times, open to different populations, inclusive and generative of subsidiary services to Welfare State?

April-June 2022
URBAN WALKS, BIKE TOURS, OPEN DAY
SOCIOCULTURAL HYBRID SPACES | On foot, by bike, by scooter or by canoe
Edited by rete informale spazi ibridi socioculturali
The project ” Socio-cultural hybrid spaces and Open cities” includes workshop days from 7-10 April, during which various moments of territorial animation will be organized, with walks and guided visits to city districts (or NIL Nuclei of local identity) that have germinated hybrid spaces such as Stecca3 and ZONA K in the Isola district, Rob de Matt in Niguarda, Spirit de Milan in Bovisa, Casa degli Artisti in Brera, BASE Milano in the SavonaTortona district, mare culturale urbano in San Siro, Eastriver in the district Turro, Cascina Cuccagna in Porta Romana, Terzo Paesaggio in Chiaravalle …
Between April and May 2022, 3 public walks will be organized, as well as 3 tours by bike, on foot, by canoe. The public walks and guided tours will show the genius loci of the neighborhoods, the meeting spaces, the places of conflict, the public services present and the self-organized activities and services offered by the hybrid spaces.
The public walks will be accompanied by HYBRID AUDIO by ZONA K:
Creative audio guide that crosses the territory of Milan to discover the Sociocultural Hybrid Spaces that inhabit it. An electronic voice of a personal navigator will guide the listener on a journey in stages through those places – new, historical, adapted, rich in history, cultural, performative and social incubators – which are part of our urban horizon.
10 April, 3-7 pm
