more information

A dialogue to explore creative solutions and imagine more sustainable urban futures, comparing the different ways in which cities are managed and planned.

Cities have always been engines of creativity, progress and innovation. They have the potential to generate wealth, well-being and growth, or to decline in response to demographic, economic and environmental pressures. Like other global cities, Rome faces the urban challenges of the 21st century, which require investment, regeneration and adaptability.
