We have lost humanity in our cities: it is necessary to recover it.” This is said by Carlos Moreno, scientific director Entrepreneurship Territory Innovation at the Sorbonne Business School in Paris, professor at the International Academy of Architecture and author of the book “The City of 15 Minutes.” He spoke last night at Palazzo Soragna at the event “Time, Space, Life. the urban revolution in 15 minutes,” which marks the start of Green week, the green economy festival, in the city from April 5-7 with some 70 events. “The times we are facing are difficult and marked by continuous change,” Moreno says, “which means that cities have also transformed and are transforming. At this time of climate emergency we need to take action even at the urban level to change the situation.” Professor Moreno’s concepts focus on transforming our urban centers to provide solutions to the problems facing cities and their residents-such as those caused and exacerbated by the climate crisis and rapid urbanization-to help create more resilient cities, improve the well-being of residents, and reduce the carbon footprint of cities. “Cities today make life even more hectic, it can take even hours to commute from home to work, and we have lost a lot of the dimension of sociality: sociality, economy and ecology are three indispensable elements to restart and change the paradigm,” Moreno explained, answering questions from journalist Elena Comelli and Lorenzo Bisceglie and Agata Turillazzi, of the Parma Giovani 2027 group. Between human beings and the environment, in the expert’s project, there seems to be no distance, so much so that even happiness, desires, and emotions seem to regulate themselves according to the incessant rhythm of biosystems, biodiversity, and , even, climate change. “We need to recover relationships with neighbors, with neighborhood stores, with those around us, with nature and biodiversity, choosing also what impact to have in our daily choices,” adds the bio-architect, “to recover a humanistic approach not only to architecture, but to life itself. Modern cities “are also negatively affecting inhabitants through lifestyles that depress and tire them,” and here sustainability becomes more and more an act of courage: “Remember,” Carlos Moreno concludes, “that radical choices are needed to combat climate change.
