4 days in rural areas of Sicily to share, discuss and co-design a sustainable future for cities.

The Urban Thinkers Campus Countless Cities, promoted by PUSH and Farm Cultural Park under the umbrella of UN Habitat, was the opening event of the namesake biennial that hosted in Favara over 20 cities from all over the world to reflect on issues related to Sustainable Urban Development and the New Urban Agenda.

The Campus was an open space for exchange among researchers, professionals, politicians and citizens, invited to discuss on the future of Mediterranean cities and in particular of marginal ones.
Countless Cities proposed a dialogue based on urban transformation and good practices already experimented in Favara, in relation to the following topics:

• Governance and Leadership: How capacity-development oriented and human-centered strategies have to be promoted;
• Urban Resilience: Is this concept applicable to small and disperse cities?;
• Youth Woke: How youth movements can be empowered to drive the society? How this can happen in marginal cities?
