This paper presents a service design project developed in an old milk factory in Milan. The proposal is part of a PhD research programme with the aim of developing a solution that enhances the growth and development of Creative Places for a new everyday life in urban contexts. These are places where groups of people collaboratively promote and manage a mix of creative initiatives in the fields of art and culture, economy and production, social services and urban regeneration. The project that is presented here has as its main objective to identify and develop optimal strategies for building the necessary infrastructure in which sustainable collaborative services can flourish. In particular, the project proposes to endow local authorities and communities with a strategic plan and specific tools, respectively, to orientate them in the most promising direction: that is, in the direction of becoming a network of effective laboratories of a new, sustainable, urban identity and active citizenship.
