(IT) - Polo Civico Esquilino

Via Galilei, 57, 00185, Rome, Italy

The Polo Civico Esquilino was founded in 2022 to create a collaborative ecosystem aimed at promoting sustainable and solidaristic coexistence, countering growing marginalization, and supporting local development, culture, and civic participation through shared management of territory and common goods. The project fosters “urban co-governance” by actively involving civil society, the Third Sector, institutions, active citizens, profit organizations, and knowledge institutions such as libraries, schools, and research centers. Universities Tor Vergata and Roma Tre also collaborate. Its core idea is that the best way to improve a territory’s quality of life is to involve all actors capable of positively impacting it in the planning, design, and implementation of public policies.
