Thinking the City: A Series of Meetings on Urban Development and Sustainable Policies

After the first debate on the topic of mobility, the series of meetings titled "Thinking the City" continues with its second event. The project, realized by the association Vivoanapoli, together with the Guida alla Cultura Foundation, stems from the need to focus attention on sensitive issues that, through public discussion, will be debated with the intent of combining ideas, proposals to act and engage in the perspective of developing sustainable policies in the urban area. The second meeting titled "The Desired City: Naples in Thought, in the Imaginary, in Reality" will be held on Friday, March 1 at 5:30 PM at the Fondazione Premio Napoli at the Royal Palace. "Cities, in addition to delineating physical spaces, are containers of dreams, thoughts, and imaginations," explains Emilia Leonetti, President of the Vivoanapoli Association - What distances or brings closer, desire and reality, represents the starting point. Naples, in its contradictions, in its beauty, sometimes decadent and sometimes amazing, will be at the center of our debate. The goal of the second public confrontation will, therefore, be to gather reflections on the city of Naples in terms of thought, imagination, and reality in the multidimensional urban, literary, and dramaturgical context. Participants in the debate will include Maurizio De Giovanni, President of the Campania Legge Foundation Premio Napoli, Gabriele Frasca, Writer, Davide Iodice, Director, playwright and pedagogist, Daniele Pitteri, CEO of the Fondazione Musica di Roma, and Michelangelo Russo, Director of the Architecture Department at the University Federico II of Naples. The meeting will be moderated by Emilia Leonetti, President of Vivoanapoli, and Diego Guida, President of the Guida alla Cultura Foundation. "Starting from nursery schools to change society.
