The Embassy of Italy to Beirut and the Italian Cultural Institute in Beirut present the traveling exhibition Città in Scena. Urban Regeneration: the Italian way to a sustainable future. The project is promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and created by Ance, Associazione Mecenate 90 ETS and Fondazione Musica per Roma.
The exhibition, which brings abroad the experiences of urban regeneration in Italy collected by the Città in Scena Festival, highlights the best practices developed by the country in this field, to govern environmental, energy, and social transitions, as well as to contain land consumption. Through these practices, abandoned spaces and buildings, both in peripheral areas and historic centers, are recovered and repurposed to serve new functions connected to the needs of local communities.
At the same time, the exhibition promotes the skills and technologies related to the design of urban spaces, construction and housing projects developed by Italian public administrations, companies and designers.
Città in Scena. Urban Regeneration: the Italian way to a sustainable future originated in the wake of the experience acquired since 2023 with the Città in Scena Festival. Here, over 130 urban regeneration projects from all over Italy were showcased and explored.
