History
Urban Lab was set up in September 2005 with the name of Urban Center Metropolitano di Torino, as a result of an agreement between Città di Torino, Compagnia di San Paolo and Associazione Torino Internazionale. According to the indications contained in the second Strategic Plan of Torino, its mission is to become a place where the economic, social and cultural players involved in the process for the city transformation can meet and talk. In 2010 it became an independent association, also from an administrative point of view. In 2018, following the reorganization of the bodies responsible for local development affiliated to the Municipality of Torino, it turned into Urban Lab, thus inheriting some of the tasks accomplished by Associazione Torino Internazionale and Fondazione Smart City.
The network
Urban Lab belongs to a network operating in the main European cities and in the world with different methods. According to the activities performed and the related context, urban centers adapt their actions, ranging from advocacy planning to the city building process, the communication of urban transformation and the promotion of the debate on architecture.
