Creative Governance in Dynamic City Regions
In Italy, the housing problem is becoming more worrisome, not only for the lowest- income people, but also for larger segments of the middle class. At the turn of the millennium, traditional public policies are in a crisis and the residential market is unable to respond to new social needs. For Milan, a core city of 1.3 million inhabitants in a dynamic city region, it is estimated that 50,000 households lack adequate housing. Increasing fragmentation of the public sphere has transformed the government process, making it now even less transparent and understandable than before. Traditional public actors are more or less paralyzed in dealing with housing: one of the most crucial problems facing the public sphere today. This paper will present an initiative that deals with the housing problem in a creative way by mobilizing semi-public and private actors. Based on the experience gained through the case study, it can be concluded that creative governance is facilitated when a process of social experimentation is allowed to find solutions to cope with emerging social problems.
