Pedagogia del welfare urbano: rigenerare città educative e comunità solidali

This article examines urban welfare as a pedagogical paradigm capable of reconfiguring the city into an educating community and a laboratory of coexistence. In the face of new forms of poverty, emerging vulnerabilities and the pressures of globalisation, social pedagogy is conceived as a boundary discipline able to interpret the urban space as an educational subject oriented towards spatial justice, sustainability and inclusion. Within this horizon, regenerative welfare, moving beyond an assistential approach, fosters intergenerational participation, community co-construction and the stewardship of common goods, while valorising ecological and relational dimensions. In dialogue with international educational agendas, particularly Agenda 2030, the city is envisaged as a locus of territorial educational pacts, collective resilience and social innovation, where urban policies intersect with pedagogical knowledge to generate widespread, inclusive and sustainable educational ecosystems capable of nurturing active citizenship and intergenerational solidarity.
