Abstract
The city of proximity can be defined as a city able to offer to all its inhabitants everything they need to live, work and have fun to be reached on foot or bike in no more than 20 minutes (Moreno, 2020). An important factor is that the city of proximity has to be created with the support of a wide process of participation with the actors involved and interested in its realization. Starting from these premises, this study - carried out in the framework of the research project PRIN 2020 SUMMA #20209F3A37 - aims at presenting the process of participation and the proposed project interventions for the regeneration of the former fair of Rome, interested by dismission and then isolation from the rest of the neighbourhood. As a result, the 25 principles Charter of Proximity - flexible, inclusive and updatable - was realized, which consists in a holistic tool for design or verify proximity in an area and assure equitable accessibility (Sepe, 2023).
