The Lazio branch of the Italian National Planning Institute (INU-Lazio), in collaboration with the INU branches of Veneto, Piedmont, Liguria, Emilia Romagna and Puglie, is organizing the first Biennial on Public Space, which will culminate in a final meeting organized in Rome during May 2011.
This initiative aims to establish a recurring encounter where ideas can be exchanged, transformations monitored, and scholarly research, and news on other territorial initiatives, can be publicly aired. Public space is a topic of pressing contemporary relevance, considering contemporary changes in the global economy, migration trends, advances in information technology, and transformations in contemporary patterns of urban growth.
