About
From April to July 2018, The Specializing Master in Service Design of POLI.design - Politecnico di Milano collaborated with the EU Policy Lab, together with other six design schools in Europe, as a part of the project “The Future of Government 2030+". A Citizen Centric Perspective on new government models”.
Hyper Neomunicipalism
The Schools involved were asked to develop new visions of how governments, citizens and the emerging societal stakeholders could imagine and design together “preferable” future government/governance models and practices, thus imagining and giving shape to new visions, artefacts and services. To develop these concepts, as part of a fictional framework happening on the city scale, the Specializing Master in Service Design developed the inspirational idea of Hyper Neomunicipalism.
