The B.RIGHT SPACES Cartography of Civic Spaces

Polo Civico del Quarticciolo (IT)

The Polo Civico Quarticciolo reinforces freedom of assembly and association by offering open, accessible, and free spaces where residents can meet, organize, and act collectively, enabling sustained civic engagement without barriers to participation.
Its approach is grounded in non-discrimination, recognizing all residents as equal civic actors regardless of social, cultural, or economic background, and ensuring that services and spaces are inclusive and respectful of diversity.
By involving educational players, the Polo strengthens freedom of expression and information, expanding access to knowledge, research, and public debate, and increasing the visibility and credibility of community voices.
The Polo contributes to overcoming social isolation by creating a plural and open civic space that connects the neighborhood with external individuals and organizations, encouraging exchange, dialogue, and the circulation of ideas.
Ongoing dialogue with municipal institutions supports residents’ right to express collective needs and interests in the public sphere, while advocacy activities are based on the active participation of service users, ensuring that diverse voices can be heard and converge around shared objectives.
