Torino is excited to welcome the Cities Forum 2023 and hundreds of participants from all over Europe, and is looking forward to offering the opportunity to reflect on new visions and ideas for the future of cities.
But, why Torino?
The recent history of Torino is the emblem of what a city in continuous transformation means. With an urban fabric that started to rapidly grow from the post-Second World war, overcoming borders and administrative divisions to become a veritable metropolitan area, it found itself facing a completely different situation from the 1990s. Heavily impacted by the industrial crisis, the city had to deal with the dismissal of 10 million sqm of productive areas, corresponding to 8% of the total municipal land, and the loss of hundreds of thousands of inhabitants.
The challenge was then not only to give back life to the dismissed areas, but to bring to light old and new vocations, opportunities, identities for the city.
Thanks to European investments, national and local development programs, and to the initiative of private operators, more than 5 million sqm of former industrial areas have been redeveloped so far into new spaces with a strong focus on higher education and research, technological development, creativity and innovation.
Did you know?
Maybe you didn’t know that Torino was founded in Roman times and still keeps visible memories of its past in the Roman area of Porta Palatina, one of the ancient access points to the city.
Most likely you didn’t know that Torino, in 1861 was proclaimed the first Capital of the unified Italy, hosting its first Parliament.
Certainly you are more familiar with the image of Torino as the capital of the Italian automotive industry, being the headquarters of the FIAT car factory for most of the XX Century.
And coming to more recent years, you probably suffered and cheered with your national athletes during the 2006 Winter Olympic Games hosted in Torino.
These many souls reveal a city which has gone through big transformations along the centuries. Transformations that influenced the composition of its society, its cultural and economic ambitions, the physical design of its streets and buildings.
As an expression in itself of continuous transformation, Torino strongly feels the need to share and discuss the future of cities and local communities, in an historic moment where global challenges and uncertainties require more than ever a collective effort to find shared solutions.
