The paper presents some considerations developed as a result of an action-research work carried out by a group of researchers and professors of the Polytechnic and the University of Turin, in the Aurora neighbourhood of Turin. The paragraphs 1 and 2 contain a theoretical reflection on the theme of urban regeneration as a practice aimed at the creation of a social infrastructure that identifies public space as the backbone of a variety of services co-designed by citizens. The paragraph 3 presents the results of a campaign of interviews with privileged witnesses and describes the process that, following the health emergency caused by the spread of the pandemic, led to the creation of a coordination of over 40 active organizations in Aurora (citizens’ committees, associations, neighborhood centers, etc.) aimed at creating a permanent laboratory for the neighbourhood regeneration.
