VIII Congresso Internazionale delle Città Educative

Un'altra città è possibile. Il futuro delle città come progetto collettivo

Paths towards an educating city

The city reread in an educational key

Education as the principle driving force and cornerstone of:
a systematic rereading of the city's project plans, considering the new phase of overall development of the "urban design"
the trend of the political and administrative action to traditionally reduce to an exclusively functional context the educational practices, even those not explicitly and directly "educational"

1. Culture/cultures

the identity of the city and its inhabitants in the contamination among the different cultures present in the urban area

2. Environment and territory

the urban space as an opportunity for meetings, comparison, conflict and coexistence

3. Work, economy

tifelong education and training for changes in the ways of production

4. Health, illness, well being

prevention and safeguarding well-being through individual and collective responsibility
