KCity, an advisor to the Foundation since its inception, is working to replicate and expand the model that has already been successfully tested in the Parco dei Melograni pilot project, as a strategic approach to promoting initiatives and programs for territorial regeneration with a social impact, both at the local level in the municipality of Varano and throughout the entire Valceno region.

Following its proposal and coordination of the initiative ‘Let’s Build Community Spaces Together’, KCity continues in its advisory role, supporting an experimental approach based on the temporary and transitory use model. This involves engaging local actors in the management of spaces and services within a green area that aspires to become the new focal point of village life and a point of attraction for the entire valley.

After successfully supporting the design of the funding application, KCity has been appointed as advisor for the implementation of the initiative, overseeing project management as well as monitoring and evaluation of the outcomes. The aim is to develop an innovative and integrated system of educational services as a vehicle for regenerating the local community.

KCity is leading a process of analysis and planning aimed at strategically framing the local context, assessing its potential, and defining a system of priorities. This is accompanied by a broad and long-term vision designed to guide local development policies and projects, as well as the search for potential funding opportunities.

KCity has been commissioned to provide strategic consultancy and technical assistance for defining the functional guidelines that will shape the architectural design competition for the construction of the building. KCity is also responsible for defining and organising a sustainable management model integrated with other local services.

KCity is supporting the local administrations in applying to the ‘Avvio per progetti Comuni’ call promoted by Fondazione Cariplo, by defining the content of the ‘1000 Days’ project. This initiative includes a set of innovative actions and services to be implemented within the new nurseries funded through the PNRR, as well as the structuring of the partnership for its implementation.
