Cittadini creativi

A collaborative services’ fab-lab

The Creative Citizens project originated as a result of the Ph.D. research conducted by Daniela Selloni within the Polimi DESIS Lab, in the field of service design and design for social innovation.

This experimentation took place in Milan, at Cascina Cuccagna: an ongoing experimentation involving a community of 30 citizens with weekly co-design sessions began in February 2013, continuing until the end of June 2013.

Creative Citizens has brought the expertise of researchers to the service of ordinary people, creating a laboratory of solutions for daily life, improving existing services and designing new ones, acting as a semi-public office for service design and connecting citizens with designers, stakeholders and institutions. In other words, creating a good environment for co-designing social innovation.

Looking at the evolution of the experimentation, from which 6 local services originated, we may argue that the format of intervention shaped within Creative Citizens is placed in a hybrid zone between public and private, market and society, amateur and professional, profit and non-profit.
