This poster describes the FORGE (FactOry of uRban GamEs) project, a proposal that our research group launched in partnership with the Municipality of Palermo (Italy) and other local stakeholders in 2019. FORGE will be hosted in what was previously a chemical plant (the former ‘Chimica Arenella’) and is an open factory designed to collect needs and to generate interventions for urban Innovation. The four key terms we have used for the project are urban, game, factory and participation. In fact, FORGE employs a participatory methodological model based on the concept of game, aimed at supporting social and economic development through a platform for participatory codesign. FORGE also plays a key role in fostering social inclusion, becoming a ‘participation hub’ and an urban center for the whole city.

Abstract
This poster describes the FORGE (FactOry of uRban GamEs) project, a proposal that our research group launched in partnership with the Municipality of Palermo (Italy) and other local stakeholders in 2019. FORGE will be hosted in what was previously a chemical plant (the former ‘Chimica Arenella’) and is an open factory designed to collect needs and to generate interventions for urban Innovation. The four key terms we have used for the project are urban, game, factory and participation. In fact, FORGE employs a participatory methodological model based on the concept of game, aimed at supporting social and economic development through a platform for participatory codesign. FORGE also plays a key role in fostering social inclusion, becoming a ‘participation hub’ and an urban center for the whole city.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
