Ghigo will focuses on the importance and potential of ”mobility” and ”public spaces” to create a city that fosters social inclusion. His approach lies in the belief that urban form matters, because spatial patterns influence social patterns.
Ghigo will present his sincere belief that the way we design our common spaces and mobility pathways has a fundamental impact on our ability to promote equality, equity and indeed inclusion.
