• Resumen

  • This brief writing wants to show how to activate the critical dimension of communities by using the learning loop. It is shown how applying this method to urban living labs helps the community to improve co-design of urban spaces, and it also teaches citizens how to evaluate the impact of their decisions. The experience here described is fostered in the framework of the LOOPER project, co-funded under the JPI Urban Europe program, in a pilot case in the south part of Verona. Citizens here are called to work on the urban issues of air and noise pollution. In this experimentation citizens learn how to: create dialogue with policymakers; comprehend all the aspects of urban issues; understand which type of sensors exist and how to use them; analyse which actions can be applied to urban fabric.
