On October 6, Livorno’s municipality presented the experimental phase of Hangar Creativi in the former ATL depots on Via Carlo Meyer. A youth social café is already operating, while cultural, training and social activities are scheduled from October 2026 to June 2027. [1]
The municipality and nonprofit organisations will jointly manage the trial. Planning sessions and workshops mainly target people aged 14 to 30. Monitoring is intended to inform future uses of the buildings; the wider redevelopment is still underway. [1]
The bright side
A public space can be used and tested while its future is being developed, with one service already operating. [1]
One idea, in simple words
In Livorno, former public-transport depots are home to Hangar Creativi. The municipality presented the programme on October 6. A social café for young people is already open. Cultural activities and training are planned until June 2027. A trial is a period when people try something out and observe how it works. [1]
Imagine, in this example from the editors, having a room to turn into a space for your class. Before deciding everything, you could try a reading corner and a drawing area, then listen to your classmates’ views. The principle at Hangar Creativi is similar: using the space and collecting feedback can help shape future decisions. It does not mean the whole redevelopment has already been completed. [1]
