You can judge any city by the quality and vitality of its places for public life. Here in Torino Italy it’s the many piazzas, the pedestrian streets, & the public market. Many cities had to claim these places back from cars.
Don’t have those kinds of places in your city? Are you sure you’re a city?

Fantastic event, unique approach and energy… a festival, not a conference, of bold city-making! #UtopianHours #Torino #Italy
How do we transform cities that surrendered to cars into great cities for people? Better ideas are the easy part — the hard part is making those ideas reality in an era of missing leadership and unprecedented lies and misinformation. That was my call-to-action today at #UtopianHours in Torino Italy!

First night of the “Utopian Hours” European festival of city-making here in Torino, Italy was amazing last night! My presentation on “people over cars” for better cities is on Sunday, still might be a bit of room left if you’re in the area! #UtopianHours

This feels worth sharing—the event I spoke at this past weekend, #UtopianHours in Torino Italy, was great because it was so different. Different design, energy, tone, speakers, audience etc. We need LOT MORE like it. A FESTIVAL of bold city-making, filled with city-lovers on stage & in the audience.

Never miss an edition of #UtopianHours, even in #Milan!
The housing issue was at the center of this day, remembering that the Milanese crisis is part of a European phenomenon

Urban planners make communities and living places. And biodiversity = functioning green for people and animals. That's what every city needs, not an add-on. Much more to discuss. Thanks #utopianhours #citymaking #urbanecology #justgreen #NationaalParkRotterdam 9/9<
