The book brings together the latest literature and European experiences on preventing youth violent radicalisation and violent actions in intergroup relations. Youth violent radicalisation is a significant problem within the European context, and requires an exploration of how various social actors can play an active role in preventing radicalisation in minors and young adults. The chapter introduces the promotion of inclusion as a catalyser for the reimagination and transformation of urban and architectural spaces. In specific, it focuses on contexts featured by intense socio-cultural discrimination, where individuals at risk of violent radicalisation live. After a survey on the European contemporary metropolitan scenarios in which the economic and cultural inequalities favour contrasts, the authors review a series of virtuous actions against socio-cultural discrimination. Study cases include participatory projects promoted by several Municipal Authorities with citizens, migrant associations, and NGOs, where the joint actions of coexistence had a positive impact on urban life. The chapter ends with the description of the experience related to the reimagination of the detention space carried out by minor detainees in the Juvenile Prison of Florence, Italy, during the PROVA project [Erasmus+ European Project "Prevention of Violent Radicalisation and Of Violent Actions in intergroup relations" PROVA (580365-EPP-1-2016-1-IT-EPPKA3-IPI-SOC-IN)]

Abstract
The book brings together the latest literature and European experiences on preventing youth violent radicalisation and violent actions in intergroup relations. Youth violent radicalisation is a significant problem within the European context, and requires an exploration of how various social actors can play an active role in preventing radicalisation in minors and young adults. The chapter introduces the promotion of inclusion as a catalyser for the reimagination and transformation of urban and architectural spaces. In specific, it focuses on contexts featured by intense socio-cultural discrimination, where individuals at risk of violent radicalisation live. After a survey on the European contemporary metropolitan scenarios in which the economic and cultural inequalities favour contrasts, the authors review a series of virtuous actions against socio-cultural discrimination. Study cases include participatory projects promoted by several Municipal Authorities with citizens, migrant associations, and NGOs, where the joint actions of coexistence had a positive impact on urban life. The chapter ends with the description of the experience related to the reimagination of the detention space carried out by minor detainees in the Juvenile Prison of Florence, Italy, during the PROVA project [Erasmus+ European Project "Prevention of Violent Radicalisation and Of Violent Actions in intergroup relations" PROVA (580365-EPP-1-2016-1-IT-EPPKA3-IPI-SOC-IN)]I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
