Abstract
The dataset contains the presentation and preparatory materials presented within the co-design workshop, ROCK Talks and self-built transformation of public space “Utopia Concreta”, held in 2018 in Bologna. Specifically, the dataset includes the project of urban regeneration of Piazza Scaravilli based on the previous “Malerbe” experience, co-developed by students and professionals during this workshop. 
Data collected in this dataset contain project proposals developed in a ROCK Talks and self-built transformation of public space with University of Bologna architecture and design students, University of Bologna researchers, and Municipality of Bologna. Data can be used by both university researchers (as methodology to be replicated in similar workshops) or by city staff to take inspiration for projects to be realized in similar parts of the city.

Notes
The workshop “Utopia Concreta” was hold in Bologna, in Piazza Scarvilli. The “co-design” part in January 29 – February 2, 2019; the “self-built transformation of public space” part in June 11 – 16, 2019.
Methodologies 
A one-day symposium on Utopia and a co-design workshop for the transformation of the public space of Piazza Scaravilli from a temporary installation (Malerbe) to a permanent garden (Malerbe Plug-In). The work groups dealt with four design themes: mapping and analysis, the design of a permanent layout for the public space, the selection of plants and the design of the green space and the design of a permanent layout. The project was an opportunity to deepen and develop one of the most important issues related to youth movement, Utopia, and allows us to get closer to the deeper positive motivations of the Movement to transfer them to new generations and use them as a pretext for a reflection on future of our society. The project consists of a shared scientific part of co-design, one of self-construction and a third performative (by the Teatro Comunale di Bologna Foundation):

1. Co-design workshop "Utopia Concreta" - in this part we bring to provision of students the tools to learn and rework a utopian vision of the social and urban context in which they live. In particular, the first workshop focuses on the co-design of a garden and a temporary pavilion in Piazza Scaravilli.

2. Self-construction workshop "Utopia Concreta" - in this second part we bring to provision of students for the self-construction of the garden and pavilion temporary in Piazza Scaravilli. The intent and the concrete objective of this work is redefinition of the Rock project's places of interest to unveil its unexpressed potential and renew it their function within social life.

3. "UTOPIA" review - in the summer season events have been planned and realized spectacular that involved different artistic languages ​​and were held in the places of university area. This review has as its main theme that of Utopia, addressed both through a reworking of the artistic movements of '68 that through the creation of new creative languages ​​and new ways of staging and using these languages. The end of this review is to develop the creative potential present on the territory and to renew through the artistic, aesthetic and cultural experience the relationship between the citizen and the places subject to this reflection.
