Polimi Team
The role of POLIMI in this project is important as we are leading the WP2, which will set the basis on which the work of URBREATH platform and activities will be implemented. The role of POLIMI is to understand which are the requirements for the digital platform, and which is the general framework on which FRCs and FLCs will implement project on NBSs.
As the POLIMI Department of Design is involved, we are willing to acquire information on different perspectives. First of all, the relationships between digital twin and online platform with the urban practices is crucial and we think that this element presents some questions and challenges that have to be taken into account. Second, the design of solutions and alternatives that might solve and facilitate problems and controversies resolution is a core element in this project, especially in dealing with urban practices. Third, the methodology and implementation of new design approaches towards the re-organisation of different stakeholders is another key point for our study.
One main factor that have to be taken into account is that the two sides of URBREATH have to be developed in parallel. This means that theory and technical elements (regulations and digital platforms) will feed urban practices and development of Nature Based Solutions. On the other hand, it is necessary that this relationship is biunivolcal, which means that urban practices might influence the way in which digital and regulatory processes are conveyed. The challenge is to understand which are the institutional setting enabling co-creation and participation both online and offline.
