MIND THE GAP: together for the City of the future

In the prestigious setting of the Chiomenti Auditorium, the Mind the Gap: Together for the City of the Future event will take place shortly, a format inaugurated in 2022 by our Association with the aim of promoting real collaboration between different social parties (institutions, organizations, foundations, associations, universities, schools, and businesses), and stimulating intergenerational dialogue on crucial issues for the future of our cities and communities. 

During two roundtable discussions, visions and actions will be shared for the construction of a renewed urban ecosystem, focusing on the integration of diversities. At the center of the debate is a reflection on the pillars of the cities of the future, including equal opportunities, social inclusion, security, employment, the presence of women in sustainability, technology, artificial intelligence, circular economy, and the culture of cooperation. 

There will be a networking toast.
