Urban landscapes in transformation: from a case study to the Biennal of the Cities in the world

Abstract

In this study we will talk about "Countless Cities" – the Biennial of the Cities of the World – an event/exhibition where urban planning and architecture are discussed and the urban landscape in the transformation of different cities around the world is analysed in greater depth. The meetings take place in Favara, a small town in the Sicilian hinterland, in the province of Agrigento, which – through collective participation, the support of institutions, cultural associations and the sensitivity of the local government – is investing heavily in the theme of urban regeneration and re‐cycling, thereby reacting positively to the ecological and economic crisis that has pervaded our cities.
