RENATO

Digital tools to enable real actions

RENATO was developed in the framework of the project DARE - Digital Environment for Collaborative Alliances to Regenerate Urban Ecosystem in middle-sized cities, funded under the 4th call of the UIA - Urban Innovative Actions programme in response to the Digital Transition challenge.

Thanks to DARE, between September 2019 and December 2022 the Municipality of Ravenna, together with 11 partners, experimented in the Darsena District of Ravenna an innovative approach to urban regeneration centered on the conscious use of digital tools. DARE’s goal was to guide the territory on a shared path to shape the future that can activate effective and strategically coherent transformation actions. Within this path, part of the work was dedicated to researching, selecting, testing and making available tools to facilitate the achievement of specific objectives.

Out of this work comes RENATO, a repository of apps and platforms validated by a team of experts that allows users to search, using pre-established filters, for the most suitable tools to pursue their regeneration goals. Anyone can test them and make them their own on the terms of use dictated by their developers, just as anyone can contribute to enriching the repository by proposing equally useful and effective tools. This way, RENATO takes the legacy of the DARE project beyond the boundaries of its duration and territory!
