Portinerie di Quartiere: innovazione sociale tra digitale e locale

The neighborhood concierges clearly embody a kind of innovation that integrates the digital dimension with the territorial dimension. They have the ability to transform the sharing phenomenon in a real source of interaction among people, becoming a place of gathering, of support and mutual aid. They feed new local relations, create the opportunities to solve every day-life problems activating and matching local resources and skills, thus generating new economies. They have different shapes and they arise from equally different actors: the café that starts to offer also the services of concierge, the social cooperative that becomes a citadel on the territory, the newsstands that become local points of reference.
