Dear citizens of Bologna,
Thank you very much for participating in the EX-TRA project’s research! We value your contribution to our understanding of citizens’ perspectives on the via Procaccini school square and the quality of cycle and pedestrian routes in the surrounding Bolognina area.
The Commonplace part of the research project has now finished and the surveys will be closed for comment on 28 April 2023. The website will however remain available for citizens to visit for another two years, including the other respondents’ answers to the surveys.
The University of Westminster and Politecnico di Milano have analysed your survey responses. You can read a brief summary of the results here: https://www.dite-aisre.it/un-indice-per-progettare-la-citta-dei-15-minuti-inclusive-accessibility-by-proximity-index-iapi/. Please also continue checking the EX-TRA website, where a summary of the research findings will be published before the end of the project in March 2024: https://www.ex-tra-project.eu/blog.
For any questions, you can write to us via the Contact Form at the bottom of our website https://www.ex-tra-project.eu/, or contact us via Twitter @EX_TRA__Project or Facebook.

The COVID-19 emergency and the consequent restrictions to limit its diffusion have seen us, and still see us, living in a different way than the city and its spaces, especially those intended for social relations. In response, Bologna is working on new experiments for moving around and experiencing public space in the city. The Foundation for Urban Innovation ('Fondazione per l’Innovazione Urbana' or 'FIU') is an ‘open and widespread lab’ focusing on urban innovation, and is implementing a number of street experiments in collaboration with the City of Bologna. To find out more, take a look at the full article on the EX-TRA project website: https://www.ex-tra-project.eu/post/brining-people-back-to-bolognas-streets .
