Like all good recipes simple ingredients can make the difference and harness imagination. This happened with the InnovaTO-r project that is easily replicable anywhere. It was initiated by Torino and then transferred to other cities in a EU-Urbact transfer project. This engaged the city’s staff in an unprecedented exercise to propose innovation projects that could improve the city’s administrative performance through better use of resources and capacity. The response was overwhelming with 70 projects suggested from all levels of the organization being implemented. The seven city European network that followed copied the process that equally triggered a response in places like Cluj, Murcia, Paris and Veszprém. We will hear from Torino how the project was launched and how the Cluj initiatives were so successful that many Romanian cities are copying the model with Cluj acting as a mentor.
