This article discusses the relationship between social innovation and urban planning. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating social innovation into urban planning processes and highlights its potential to generate lasting effects when supported by public action and policy frameworks. The abstract also touches upon the concept of social innovation, which involves citizen-led initiatives to address emerging social needs and its impact on local societies and the planning process. It suggests that social innovation can empower communities and reshape public action in cities, bridging the gap between grassroots initiatives and various policy levels. Furthermore, it explores the idea that social innovation can create open arenas for diverse stakeholders in planning and emphasizes the role of spatially anchored practices and future-oriented approaches. Finally, the abstract discusses a case study involving the Urban Plan of Bologna, analyzing how social innovation influences urban regeneration strategies and the formation of "trading zones" in planning, which can navigate the complex relationship between institutionalization and conflict, as well as strategies for plan monitoring and maintenance.
