INNES|INTIMATE NEIGHBOURHOOD STRENGTHENING Description The problems affecting safety arise in different ways. One of them is undoubtedly the preservation of security within residential areas: in big cities, in provincial ones and in neighbourhoods. Ensuring the expectation of “security” it is not simple precisely because of its aspects and segmentations which this term includes: criminal, social, work related, political, etc. In any case there is the opportunity to achieve a concept that identify itself with a precise goal, that is the need for the citizen to lead a regular life: a security intended as preservation of standard quality of life. The expectation of security of the average citizen is that which the places where he/she lives are not unsettled by events that modify his/her properties and in particular his/her routine. Objectives The approach with which INNES INNES (Intimate Neighborhood Strengthening) intends to face caused by the feeling of insecurity among citizens of the two cities part of the project (Mantova and Pegognaga) is essentially based on the strengthening of neighbourhood relationships. This method focuses on the concept of solidarity, social cohesion the increase of the social capital in residential areas through the creation and/or strengthening of the social connections among communities and institutions.
