In Europe many city governments have recently promoted participative processes for urban rehabilitation. Participation is an efficient and politically correct way not only to support new ideas and strategies for urban transformations, but also to improve the environmental consciousness of social groups. Awareness of ecological issues, supported by participation, and promotion of urban quality converge in an unique task. Controlling urban transformations has more and more become an extremely complicated task for local administrations, due to the fragmentation of the public institutions, the unexpected political conflicts and the lack of public financial resources in comparison with private capitals. In this general frame the case study of Villaggio Artigiano in Montreal has been presented.

Abstract
In Europe many city governments have recently promoted participative processes for urban rehabilitation. Participation is an efficient and politically correct way not only to support new ideas and strategies for urban transformations, but also to improve the environmental consciousness of social groups. Awareness of ecological issues, supported by participation, and promotion of urban quality converge in an unique task. Controlling urban transformations has more and more become an extremely complicated task for local administrations, due to the fragmentation of the public institutions, the unexpected political conflicts and the lack of public financial resources in comparison with private capitals. In this general frame the case study of Villaggio Artigiano in Montreal has been presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
