Beyond Multidimensional Vulnerability Approach: A Triple Network Notion for Urban Cohesion in At-Risk Neighborhoods of Jaen’s Historic Center

“…To this end, we address the conditions and capacities analysis of public space for the formulation of urban regeneration strategies, understood as a multi-relational system: network system and set of elements that constitute a physical environment of collective expression and social and cultural diversity [48], and of a multidimensional nature [10]. Networks are presented as one of the hallmarks of urban re-generation that works on the social innovation of an urban fabric [25], as networking can build shared interests, reciprocal support and mutual benefit with each partner contributing according to their respective resources, strengths, and areas of expertise [49].

Based on this concept, urban regeneration projects are trying to increase the sustainability of sites by improving various conditions through goals such as strengthening the community and the capacity of residents, and creating jobs, as well as physically improving the city [ 19 ]; l [ 1 , 20 ].…”

Between Participatory Approaches and Politics, Promoting Social Innovation in Smart Cities: Building a Hum–Animal Smart City in Lucca
