Bringing together specialists, researchers, and cultural activists, this event will foster a plural and critical dialogue on urban practices and social transformation discussing pathways to strengthen citizen participation, highlight the role of culture in urban life, and examine strategies for adaptation to climate change and urban inequalities. The format includes roundtables and thematic panels, where participants will share experiences and propose innovative solutions that connect public policies, culture, technology, and community engagement. The approach is interdisciplinary and collaborative, aiming to bridge academia, civil society, and public management to rethink the future of cities through the lenses of resilience and sustainability.
