Abstract: This paper introduces the analytic context of a social innovation model analyzed through a local urban regeneration process. Urban regeneration is the bringing to life of urban areas with the cooperative effort of municipalities, owners and other stakeholders involved in improving living conditions, enhancing the quality of the environment and the social climate, and strengthening the local economy. The main question is: Can an urban regeneration project be considered social innovation? To answer that, the purpose of this article is the analysis of an urban regeneration project as a social innovation one. The paper employs content analysis exploring a study case within a pilot urban regeneration project. The paper findings suggest that the main purpose of social innovation in the urban regeneration of the Ferentari neighborhood is not the profit: social innovation consists of innovative activities and services motivated by the purpose of responding to a social need, disseminated through organizations, individuals or enterprises whose main purpose is social.
