# Scalability Roadmap

### Grounding the Vision 

**Goal:** Build trust and generate knowledge with your community of practice.

* **Actors**: You (designer), Contorno Urbano team, neighbors of La Florida, community garden participants.
* **Skills**: Ethnographic observation, co-design facilitation, manual fabrication, reflective documentation.
* **Knowledge**: Urban regeneration, ethnocognition, participatory design theory.
* **Actions**:
  * Conduct mapping sessions & interviews in La Florida.
  * Co-build small-scale objects.
  * Document process (photos, reflections, sketches).

**Outcome**: Deep context understanding + trust network + design criteria from lived experiences.

### Developing Participatory Prototypes 

**Goal:** Expand collaborative making into collective infrastructure.

* **Actors**: Local makers, families, social workers, design students.
* **Skills**: Facilitation, low-tech prototyping, listening, modular design.
* **Knowledge**: Social inclusion policies, material circularity, maker pedagogy.
* **Actions**:
  * Use the brick-pressing machine to build functional storage.
  * Initiate co-making sessions for modular furniture and signage.
  * Launch a workshop series on cultural heritage and making.

**Outcome**: Functional prototypes + intergenerational exchange + enhanced visibility of local knowledge.

### Community Stewardship Model 

**Goal:** Start transitioning out of the central role; co-governance.

* **Actors**: Contorno Urbano staff, trained community facilitators.
* **Skills**: Delegation, co-leadership, impact evaluation, storytelling.
* **Knowledge**: Co-operative structures, participatory governance.
* **Actions**:
  * Establish a collective calendar for regular sessions.
  * Train local participants in co-facilitating and documenting.
  * Develop a rotating curation model for exhibitions/workshops.

**Outcome**: Decentralized ownership + sustainable routine + embedded value.

### Amplification & Transfer (1+ year)

**Goal:** Spread model to other neighborhoods / cities.

* **Actors**: Other nonprofits, policy makers, EU culture networks, local councils.
* **Skills**: Grant writing, storytelling, strategic alliances.
* **Knowledge**: EU funding channels (e.g. Erasmus+, Creative Europe), public tender systems.
* **Actions**:
  * Package methodology (open toolkit, video).
  * Apply for funding with Contorno Urbano as lead partner.
  * Pilot project in another city (e.g. Barletta, Italy).

**Outcome**: Adaptable framework + replicable toolkit + financial sustainability through alliances.
