LET’S DESIGN TOGETHER
Right to the Future is the title of the Urban Thinkers Campus promoted by the United Nations and organized by PUSH in partnership with the Municipality of Palermo that took place in Palermo from 6th to 8th April 2017.
The event was aimed to propose visions for the future of Palermo and develop concrete proposals inspired by the New Urban Agenda.
Here below, an overview of the event in numbers.

Right to the Future comes after City as a Service that took place in 2015.
Both of them were amazing experiences but for the moment don’t expect us to organize the third one, please…

Many many thanks again to Carlo, Giovanni, Martina, Paolo, Sergio and Simona.
