Da secoli, le città rappresentano spazi di possibilità, dove le distanze si accorciano e gli squilibri si riducono grazie al dialogo e all’interazione tra le diversità. Oggi, però, sono anche i contesti in cui le disuguaglianze crescono più rapidamente e in modo sempre più evidente. Cosa possono fare l’urbanistica e l’architettura per ristabilire un equilibrio tra abitanti, città e opportunità? La mostra è un atlante di luoghi, temi e progetti, provenienti dalle terre abitate dell’intero pianeta, raccolti in una geografia immaginaria con l'obiettivo di proporre un’idea di sviluppo diversa da quella tradizionale. Trentacinque installazioni site specific realizzate da altrettanti autori di oltre trenta diverse nazionalità costruiscono una riflessione corale sulla nuova dialettica tra ricchezza e povertà, società e comunità, ecologie e città, e sulle sorprendenti forme in cui queste possono manifestarsi oggi nei territori abitati dalla nostra specie.

The thematic exhibition builds a choral reflection on the new dialectic between wealth and poverty, society and community, ecologies and cities, and the surprising forms in which they can manifest today in the territories inhabited by our species
For centuries, cities have been places of opportunity, where distances are shortened and imbalances are reduced thanks to the dialogue and interaction between diversities. Today, however, they are also places where inequalities grow more rapidly and in an increasingly evident way. What can urban planning and architecture do to restore a balance between inhabitants, cities and opportunities? The exhibition is conceived as an atlas of places, themes, and projects from inhabited lands across the globe, brought together within an imagined geography. Its aim is to propose an alternative vision of development—one that departs from traditional economic and geopolitical analyses of inequality—and to suggest unexpected pathways for growth. In the atmosphere of an abstract, fragmented, and globalized city, thirty-five site-specific installations—created by as many authors from over thirty nationalities—form a collective reflection on the evolving dialectic between wealth and poverty, society and community, ecology and cities. Together, they explore the surprising ways these tensions manifest today in the territories inhabited by our species.
