The city revealed: contemporary and historical perspectives

The city is much more than a physical space: it is a living stage where memory, identity, and change converge. These talks propose an accessible and suggestive journey through different ways of understanding and inhabiting the urban environment, from its most contemporary expressions to its historical roots.
