Non Riservato promotes innovation in public places, through its members and the community: organizations, cooperatives, professionals and companies, that make jobs out of creativity, a transformative urban and social tool. The network brings together those who share its philosophy and aims, who want to experience new organizational and production models, but also who have a common desire to take back their public spaces, through creativity and participatory processes. The development of Non Riservato is made possible thanks to the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo and the partnership with the City of Milan. The project collaborates with the University of Milano Bicocca (Department of Sociology and Social Research) and Politecnico of Milano (Department of Architecture and Urban Studies). What does NR do? Non Riservato creates projects that connect all the different capacities of its members: public art, urban games, urban sports, performance, street art, architecture and design. The projects have the common features of all taking part in public spaces; they start processes of re-appropriation, creative involvement of participants and develop socialization and facilitate meetings. Non Riservato acts as an incubator, mostly through bidding of development and prototyping for new projects. Non Riservato also involves external partners to carry out strategic projects. Non Riservato follows its strategic lines, by working on a commission basis with the public and the private entities, that need services or projects with a highly creative and social impact.
