Rome and online – 24 March 2026

The international conference explores how our cities are changing and what new paradigms will define urban life in the 21st century. Starting with an introductory speech on the value of time, proximity and quality of life, the programme brings together prestigious experts national and international from urban planning, archi-tecture, economics, mobility, sustainability, artificial intelligence, cultural heritage and new ways of living.

During the thematic sessions, key challenges such as climate adaptation, the city of recovered time, the econ-omy of proximity, human mobility and the future of urban intelligence in the transformation of our territories will be analysed.

This event is particularly significant, as it is the last major conference on the theme of the CNAPPC’s 2021-2026 council. It also represents a milestone in the strategic action taken by the CNAPPC and its Scientific Committee in support of the Urban Regeneration and Law currently under consideration by Parliament. We are particularly proud to actively contribute to the development and progress of this legislative proposal, which embodies a renewed commitment to a more sustainable, inclusive and proximity-based urban future.

The conference proposes a comprehensive approach to building more humane, resilient and liveable cities, where proximity, social cohesion and everyday well-being become the new compass for contemporary urban planning. The meeting culminates in a renewed vision of a new urban humanism that will inspire policies and projects for decades to come.
