| Description of the project | In 2012 the informal management of a former convent called ‘Asilo Filangieri’, owned by the City of Naples, shaped the vision of the Naples regarding Commoms. The city built a self-governance tool, the “Civic and collective urban uses”. The Asilo commoners, in close collaboration with civil servants from the Municipality collectively wrote a Declaration of Urban Civic and Collective Use’ Thus, following the Asilo experience, the declaration “Civic and collective urban uses” recognizes the existence of a relationship between the community and these public assets that triggers the formation of a social practice eventually evolving into a “civic use”, which in essence is the right to use and manage the resource as shaped by the practice and concrete use of the common resource by its users. This process makes community-led initiatives recognizable, creating new institutions, ensuring the autonomy of both parties involved, on the one hand the citizens engaged in the reuse of the urban commons and on the other hand the city administration enabling the practice. The policy was implemented through a series of City resolutions. The Declaration of the Asilo was recognized by the resolution of Naples City Government n. 893/2015 as the public regulation of the building. By doing this, the local administration recognized “the rights to the direct administration of the building itself” (https://urbact.eu/commons-towards-new-participatory-institutions-neapolitan-experience). The process culminated in 2016, with a new resolution (n.446) enabled other public spaces to adopt the civic use model of the Asilo and be declared as ‘emerging urban commons’.
