WIP – Work in Poliss: rigenerazione urbana e sociale a Sassari entro il 2030

In the Monte Rosello neighborhood of Sassari, an exciting initiative called WIP – Work in Poliss is underway. This ambitious urban and social regeneration project aims to revitalize the Poliss center, which used to serve families of inmates but is now underutilized, by 2030. Led by Officine Condivise APS and backed by the Baggi Sisini Foundation and the Foundation with the South, the project has secured 300,000 euros in funding. The Municipality of Sassari and the Sardinia Juvenile Justice Center are also involved. Architectural planning is being handled by the Orizzontale collective, which has started a participatory process. The first community meeting took place on April 15, 2026, with over 30 planned sessions. A self-construction site will begin from May 18 to 30, 2026, focusing on the center's entrance. Future efforts will include green spaces in 2027, a sports and play area in 2028-2029, and a cultural events venue, all aimed at creating a community hub for the local population, where over 12% of the 12,400 residents are over 75 years old.
