The day begins with an exploration of tools for the local area: the first panel will examine the legacy of the PNRR and future planning strategies for small towns, whilst the second will focus on ‘invisible infrastructure’, new economies and the essential services that make life in these towns possible.
In the afternoon, theory gives way to action with a Serious Game session, and concluding with a moment of celebration and sharing at the Community Warming Party.
