| Abstract | A process of urban regeneration should be able to produce social and spatial contextual effects. In order to achieve long-term results, it has to guarantee social inclusion. New rising ways of transformation of public space, consisting in the urban co-design, are defining new tools able to trigger processes of regeneration so called “community-led”. One of the approaches used by different groups of architects to trigger regeneration processes of so-called “in need areas” is the activation of the community through urban laboratories of social innovation for the realization of temporary transformations of space. This article explores the analysis of DIY (Do It Yourself) Urbanism tools of co-planning and co-construction as motors of innovation, activation and social inclusion, investigating their role in urban regeneration. Questions are being asked about the new skills of the architect involved in these procedures and about possible tools useful to the institutions to act in these operative fields. The purpose is to analyze some practices, hypothesizing their replicability and applicability to different scales, in order to generate virtuous mechanisms. Two experiences of co-design and co-construction, located in two different geographic, social and political contexts, will be shown: the construction of the Casa de la lluvia (de ideas), in Bogotà(Colombia), and the regeneration of Piazza Gasparotto, in Padua (Italy). Despite the peculiarities of context, we want to illustrate the strategies implemented in the cases exposed, in order to identify shared features and differences due to the degrees of freedom that the participation tools must have, to be flexible and repeatable. © 2020 WITPress.

DIY urbanism as a tool of urban regeneration. In order to achieve long-term results, it has to guarantee social inclusion. PIAZZA GASPAROTTO AND CASA DE LA LLUVIA : COMPARING TWO EXPERIENCES OF SELF-CONSTRUCTION Two experiences of participatory design and construction are referred to illustrate some dynamics for the regeneration and constitution of new public spaces through strategies of engagement of the communities. Through this practice the disadvantaged inhabitants driven by primary needs and supported by a strong internal cooperative spirit are transformed into the main social agents of urban growth. The new intervention that involves replacing the surface coating of the roof and three of the four walls choosing to preserve the murals of dreams added to other small interventions demonstrates the desire to safeguard and protect its space over time and to reiterate the strength and capacity of the community self-management as a response to the socio-spatial segregation of the popular sectors.
