MANIFESTO Currently, cities cover only 2% of Earth’s surface and they are populated by more than 50% of the world’s population, yet deplete over 80% of the available resources and produce more than 70% of pollution. Those resources, which at first seemed to be infinitely available, in recent years began to run low, revealing the consequences of a reckless consumption. The greenhouse effect, due to climate-changing gas emissions, increased the Earth’s temperature, while the growing quantity of energy stored in the atmosphere, causing more frequent and destructive meteorological phenomena. While resources are relentlessly running out, wars and famines are becoming more frequent and they are generating deeper social fractures. Somehow cities represent the “sick tissue” that is slowly devouring the planet. For these reasons, in recent years energy sustainability in urban areas has become a crucial issue. As seen in the past, every industrial revolution started from new energy vectors, today we are relying on renewable ones. This new model is based on a distributed energy-architecture, the use of more efficient and environmental-friendly technologies and ICT systems, which help processing and sharing complex information at high-speeds. The buzzword for describing cities as intelligent and metabolic beings is “Smart Cities”. Even if the results of the experimentations are encouraging, they do not seem scalable in marginal contexts or in developing countries. For at least 80% of the cities in the world, the cost to redesign and renovate the existing urban building heritage is unsustainable. The sporadic attempts made have led to poor results, due to ever so frequent events of corruption and management incompetence. According to many, the failure of the "Smart City approach" is due to cultural differences as well as the model implemented. A simple top-down approach may certainly be able to modify the structure and some of the city features, but it will unlikely change the processes, meaning how the city lives and consumes. The revolution needed for the future of humanity and for the entire planet, after having been planned, designed and implemented from the top, has shown its limits because it is not shared by the nervous system of the urban fabric: meaning the citizens. However, during the past 30 years, the web revolution put human beings at the center of the communication process again. This global phenomenon doesn’t have borders, it‘s sustainable, it doesn’t need many resources and it doesn’t give room for any kind of corruption. The real change was brought by the Internet, which today is being used for new applications in the Sharing Economy. This is a completely different economic model that incorporates the principles of distributed architecture in the energy sector, and shifts it to the social and relational fields. It is a Network based on the exchange of information in all directions and that is able to connect the world.

It is estimated that in 2015 approximately 49% of the population have access to internet, and the trend shows a 4% growth factor per year. An unstoppable phenomenon fueled from the bottom capable of simplifying access to the service economy. It created companies, after only a few years, that are able to compete and often to oust corporate giants. Nevertheless, the web and new media have created amazing business opportunities, radically changing the relationship that citizens have with space and time. Today we are experiencing augmented reality through computers, smartphones and wearables. Being always connected affects habits and generates new behaviors. This edge of perception is undoubtedly the most fertile and receptive ground for designing new experiences and relationship dynamics with reality, triggering new processes and putting citizens at the center of ambitious environmental, energetic and social regeneration programs. In order to transform cities we have to change the way citizens establish relationships among each other and with the city. These are the principles PUSH is founded on. By designing creative and technological solutions for social innovation we “push” citizens towards behaviors and actions that improve living conditions, thus contributing proactively to the city’s welfare. The "social innovation" concept is used sometimes to indicate a "bottom-up" approach. However, it has many similarities to the concept of “Smart City”. In fact, they both share the same goals and actors, but not the same starting point. Social innovation doesn’t come from any material objects, infrastructures or procedures. It rises from people, interfaces and relationships. Therefore, we have decided to focus our activity within what is generally known as "marginal contexts", the area that includes about half of the world’s population. Whether we are talking about developing countries, cities in the South of Italy or poor neighborhoods in the suburbs of European capitals, these places are generally characterized by very poor resources and pressing social needs: a perfect environment to operate in. This approach starts from people and focuses on those who have fewer opportunities, fewer rights and uncertain futures. The extremely complex nature of the context we operate in, has led to develop a research-action model based on a multidisciplinary approach and inspired by Service Design, Design Thinking and Lean Management. PUSH lab is made of a multi-talented group of designers able to conduct complex analysis with the necessary skills to elaborate simple and strong ideas to face reality while changing it.

trafficO2 players reduced their ecological footprint on average by 54% of CO2 equivalent. Over the years the project was awarded many times and earned international acknowledgements; many scientific publications also related to the working methods and the achieved results have been published.


TrafficO2 is a social innovation project designed to limit the impact of individual types of transportation on the environment and quality of life . It is a mobile app that offers citizens a convenient agreement: prizes in exchange of sustainable urban mobility. The key players of the game are on one side the citizens, who move in the city, on the other side the local businesses, who wait for someone to stop by to buy goods or services. The citizen earns points through the smartphone technologies (and thanks to tracking and mobility detection algorithms) for every environmentally friendly movement (i.e. walking, biking, public transportation and through car sharing/ pooling), he can increase his ranking in his community and win the prizes offered by the sponsors. In 2012 the project won the call "Smart Cities and Communities and Social Innovation" promoted by the Ministry of Education, University and Research, and its activity of research and development was co-financed.

The test of the service took place in Palermo (one of the worst cities in Italy concerning the use of sustainable transportation systems), and was involved in several rounds of testing by the students of the University of Palermo. The trial results showed that those who played with TrafficO2 significantly reduced (some users more than 70%) their own emissions. In 2013 trafficO2 was included in the campaign for sustainable mobility “Do the right mix” by the European Union, and in 2014 it was the only italian project selected for the international conference Behavior Energy and Climate Change. During the same year it won the first edition of the Social Innovation AROUND Award and in 2015 it won the first edition of the Smart City Innovation Awards promoted by MIT Enterprise Forum and BNL/BNP Paribas. The project was also mentioned in the Legambiente report “Best Practices – Ecosistema Urbano XXII”. In 2016 the results of the research project were the basis for the MUV project during the business accelerator program “Google 30 weeks”.

Slowscape is a project about the requalification of the Apulian coastal defense towers system and their re-purposing: from a diffused infrastructure of defense and sighting, to a wide system for sharing information, an engine of innovation and a place for the slow fruition of the territory.

Slowscape converts the towers based on the territory’s main resource: tourism. It also offers services related to new businesses and startups, those companies or associations aiming to the conservation of knowledge to innovate and to keep the tradition alive.

The Bourbon defense system includes 127 sighting towers built between the XIII and the XVII century; among these 58 are public property 80% is in a state of neglect.

Thanks to the Internet and new technologies all of that is now possible and it makes this transformation possible, especially in the South of Italy.

Slowscape involves the entire infrastructure: some towers will be converted in meeting and sharing places as innovation and cultural centers, others will be a system for diffused hosting, and others in panoramic spots integrated with green areas and natural parks.

In 2013 the project was finalist (within over 500 proposals) of the call ARS ideaTRE60, promoted by Fondazione Italiana Accenture; in 2014 it has also generated the interest of the Puglia Region that is integrating Slowscape among the pilot actions of the Regional Landscape Territorial Plan, and within the proposals of the regional development plan “SAC Arneo Costa dei Ginepri”. In 2015 a traveling exhibit has been held to present the project to the residents of the areas around the towers, and a publication was produced and published by Adda.

Moreover, the towers will be connected through a system of slow bicycle and pedestrian paths, and virtually connected with an high speed wireless backbone covering 560 km of coastline. This network of introspective defense systems will turn into a slow mobility system and some innovative services for the territory. In one word: Slowscape (slow+landscape).

The project received awards and international acknowledgements, both in urban regeneration and in social innovation. This is the first project in which we propose the integration of digital bottom-up services with the implementation of top-down designed technologies and spaces.


Social Market creates a virtual market with all the necessary services for a neighborhood with the aim to guide the community to sustainable habits. Mobility, energy, waste management and work depend on the context (accessibility, quality of the buildings, recycling and disposal systems, traceable resources) but also by the actions of individuals. Re-designing only the forms of housing with a top-down approach may not be enough, we must try to change community dynamics from below. The project was initially developed with the firm “Ines Bajardi and Partners” during a urban design contest for the conversion of the neighborhood of Rogoredo, in Milan. Social Market uses the digital vehicle as a driver to start a cultural regeneration process in a community of residents. It works through rewards and gamification dynamics that encourage good behaviors in the community thanks to a mobile app, some devices (cloud systems for the managing of energy and waste) and a community manager.

The residents of the neighborhood will earn points by moving in a sustainable way, by recycling, by reducing energy consumption at home or by working for the community (i.e. by taking care of the vegetable garden or by helping the elderly). By doing so, they will have access to dedicated services (like co-working and co-living spaces, fablab), get bonuses when paying taxes and receive fresh fruits and vegetables grown on site. In 2013 the project won the first prize of the national competition “AAA Architetti cercasi” and it has also been selected as one of the 20 best ideas worldwide (among more than 700 proposals) for the FI-WARE Smart Cities Challenge 2014 contest. In 2015 “Digital Social Market” was inspiring for the project “Sharing Cities”, promoted by the Municipality of Milan, London and Lisbon, and then winner of the call “Smart Cities and Communities” of the Horizon 2020 program.

6 different artists created 25 graffiti on the walls of the neighborhood. In 2015 Borgo Vecchio Factory became a film, produced by The Piranesi Experience.


The Borgo Vecchio neighborhood is a historical area of Palermo where most of the families live in poverty, unemployment reaches 40% and access to education is extremely low. The neighborhood is hit by social exclusion , due to an absence of public services and high crime rates. One of its biggest issues is the school non-attendance. Started in 2012 by the organisations "Arteca onlus" and "Per Esempio Onlus" in partnership with street artist Ema Jons, the project engaged 20 children and teenagers in afterschool creative workshops. The drawings and paintings produced in these workshops were used to decorate buildings in the neighborhood. The project was successful, so we decided to start a crowdfunding campaign to extend it for six more months, involving new artists and new areas.

The Indiegogo campaign reached its goal in just two weeks, getting the attention of local and national media and gathering the support of hundreds of donors from 15 countries all around the world. Overall the amount collected exceeded 67% of the fixed amount: this allowed to expand the project, involving other artists and taking care of the requalification of the neighborhood football field. Borgo Vecchio Factory showed that through art and by involving the local urban community it’s possible to generate a strong impact, both visually and socially, in the poorest areas. In 2015 Borgo Vecchio Factory became a film, made by The Piranesi Experience. It also gave life to a new project, Street Art Factory.

The project is completely open source: on the website it’s possible to download the source code of the app and the datasets of the available cities. Currently the active communities are Palermo, Milan and Turin: we are now developing new datasets.


Open Tour is a collaborative project that aims to develop an international community for the creation and dissemination of tourist sites’ datasets in Open Data format. To operate we involved volunteer organizations or informal groups - locally active - that can organize the information about the tourist sites of their own city and share them, while creating a specific dataset. Developed for Android operating systems, the mobile app represents the interface where tourists can download the datasets of the city they’re interested in, creating real-time personalized itineraries based on user’s time available, his interests and position. The data produced regularly by community members can be downloaded for free: the app code is open and anyone can use it or contribute to its development.

Currently we have the datasets of Palermo and Milan (Rome and Turin are under review) and we are currently developing Datathons: workshops for the co-creation of datasets made with the support of local communities. Through Datathons we are involving small, medium and big cities that not only will have a dedicated app for their tourist but also can rely on a group of enthusiastic citizens, ready to cooperate and to keep the touristic information always up to date and available for everyone. Open Tour is the evolution of the award-winning “Palermo onTour”, project designed for the promotion of Open Data on tourism and promoted by the Municipality of Palermo. The development of the project was made possible thanks to a private donor who chose to invest on the ambitious project of creating the first open portal of tourism and promote it globally.

The project is based on an Open Data template for the description of city sites, named Open Tourist Sites. OTS is an open standard for the cataloging and management of tourist sites within a given city. The OpenTour standard is characterized by an Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Creative Commons license (CC BY-SA 4.0).

The design workshop involved 30 participants among future architects, planners and designers from UNIPA (University of Palermo). The experience of Sant’Anna Jamming gave life to Urban Jamming, format that aims to repeat the same co-designing process in other european contexts.


Sant’Anna Jamming is a co-design experiment that involves students, citizens and the municipality. It aims to design original, innovative, sustainable and possible solutions to start a process of participatory regeneration of Piazza Sant’Anna, in the historic part of Palermo. Sant’Anna Square in Palermo takes the name from its Baroque church; after many years of being abandoned and neglected, one year ago it became part of the pedestrian area of the old town. It is finally free from the cars that used to fill it up and it can show its majestic beauty, but after its pedestrianization it unfortunately remained mostly empty and unused. In order to solve this problem we chose to organize a thematic workshop involving the students of the Architecture department of the University of Palermo, with the aim to design creative and low cost ideas for the regeneration of the space.

The works produced by the 6 groups of students had a budget of 5.000€ each; we uploaded them on a website to let the citizens know all the proposals and vote them. The three most voted were finally presented to the Municipality of Palermo. Since they were low-cost and appreciated by the citizens, they have been submitted to the judgment of the administration, which will choose the most deserving, allowing its realization. Sant’Anna Jamming offers an innovative approach to urban planning through the participation and involvement of university students, the use of the web and a direct dialogue with the Public Administration. An experimental process divided into three main phases (planning / participation / regeneration) which is reproducible in any urban context.

14 professionals coming from all over the world offered mentoring support to the participants during the course. According to the results of the final satisfaction survey, the 78% of the participants declared that the experience was formative and exciting.


The “City as a Service� Intensive School was the first international training program organized by PUSH focusing on service design and digital innovation.

The program was a relevant experiment at a local level, but also an important trigger for future projects and collaborations among participants and professionals.

Hosted for nine days by the charming town of Erice and through a multidisciplinary user-centered approach, the young participants had the opportunity to learn, exchange knowledges and examine in depth topics related to digital innovation and services for citizens.

The 17 students involved came from Estonia, Ukraine, United States, Uganda and Italy, with an average age of 28 years old. During the 9 days of activities they developed 4 project ideas, evaluated at the end of the program by a jury of experts. All the ideas have been presented during the Urban Thinkers Campus, an international event promoted by the United Nations, hosted in Palermo in October 2015.

Guided by international mentors and professionals, the students learned Service Design tools and methodologies and worked in team to propose innovative services for cities.

Mobility, behaviors: apps is a workshop organized in collaboration with UniversitĂ degli Studi di Palermo, focusing on design of mobile apps for mobility and human behaviors. It is one of the initiatives of the promotional campaign of trafficO2, research project funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research. The event was organized by PUSH and aimed to identify a community of testers to be involved during the first experimentation of the mobile app. 50 participants, selected among students of the informatic engineering, design and communication departments, worked in heterogeneous teams supported by expert mentors; they also followed a creative path to develop mobile apps for mobility and social purposes. The three best projects have been presented to a jury of experts and awarded.

APPlyIED was a workshop on Service Design aimed to develop mobile apps. It was one of the 12 labs promoted in the context of IED Factory, the intensive week of workshops for the students of IED Roma, involving artists, designers and communication experts. IED Factory in 2015 took place during the Creative Economy Week (CRew). Through experimental learning and the use of Service Design tools, the students, in team, developed, designed and prototyped a mobile app for “entertainment”. Moreover, each team produced a video to tell about the app’s user experience and to show their work through a 5 minutes pitch.

As an associate member of the World Urban Campaign and its initiative “I’m a City Changer”, PUSH has been selected to coordinate the organization of the first Urban Thinkers Campus in Palermo.

In order to allow an easy access to the information and network of organizations and guests, PUSH developed two mobile apps (iOs and Android) and produced a program book with the details about all the events.

City as a Service was one of the 28 campus selected by the United Nations with the aim of preparing the contents to be presented during Habitat III (Quito, 2016). The event took place in Palermo, at Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa, on October 8-­9-­10 2015. The debate focused on the impact of digital services on policies proposed by World Urban Campaign.

67 organizations, 13 countries and 450 participants took part to the event. The three days event’s results have been collected in a report published by UN-Habitat, that is part of the bibliography of the Habitat III conference.

Through an international open call, 50 abstracts have been selected and about 100 speakers were involved during the three days.
