The event features keynote speaker Jan Gehl, one of the most influential figures in global urbanism. Through his work, he has championed the sustainability of major metropolises and made it his mission to advocate for urban planning that allows people, rather than automobiles, to reclaim the streets.
On Friday, September 25, the discussion "Citizen Initiatives: A Proposal for Lima 2035" will be held.
Lima Cómo Vamos, an institution with over a decade of experience, is calling for submissions of research and projects focused on our cities and their development. Selected research will be presented at the III Foro Ciudades Cómo Vamos, a platform for sharing approaches, evidence, and proposals with public authorities, private institutions, and the general public committed to improving the country’s cities and the quality of life of their inhabitants.
The panel will feature architect Dominic Papa, director and founder of Studio Woodroffe Papa, who brings over 27 years of experience in large-scale urban and architectural projects in the UK and abroad; and Anna Shapiro, associate partner at Sheppard Robson, an award-winning London-based firm responsible for a series of strategic urban projects covering housing, regeneration, biomedical and educational clusters, and a shift in focus toward retail-led integrated environments.

This major event seeks to recognize and award the best practices in architecture and urbanism nationwide.
THOUGHT AND PRACTICE: The National Congress of Peruvian Architecture is held as part of the "Road to BIALIMA," the pre-biennial event for the Lima International Architecture Biennial (BIALIMA 2021), organized by the CAP Regional Lima.
Nearly 4 million Peruvians lack housing or basic services (according to the UN), placing the country third in Latin America for social housing deficits. In search of solutions, the Colegio de Arquitectos del Perú, in collaboration with its Cusco Regional chapter, is organizing the 17th National Congress of Architects, titled “Architecture and the City Since the Bicentennial: 200 Years of Building the Peruvian Habitat—Evaluation and New Directions,” to be held from December 2 to 5 in the city of Cusco.
The seminar "Architecture: Personal Comfort, Well-being, and Diversity" aims to examine comfort, health, and well-being in architecture as the primary purpose of built environment design, acknowledging human diversity and moving toward new definitions of environmental comfort and spatial functionality.
The second edition of the International Architecture and Urbanism Biennial returns as an in-person event, taking place in the historic centers of Lima and Callao.
From November 16 to 19, Huancayo will host the 18th edition of the National Congress of Architects of Peru. This in-person event will foster a deep reflection on current territorial issues and our largely vulnerable cities, especially considering the approaching Global El Niño phenomenon, which will impact the country due to its high levels of informality and building insecurity.
The third edition of this traveling festival, organized by the Sarañani! School of Conservation of Fundación Altiplano, is underway. Designed for those passionate about conservation, sustainable construction, traditional crafts, and responsible living, as well as coastal cuisine and beach landscapes, the event takes place in the wonderful port of Callao—a heritage treasure of the Americas—in collaboration with the Patronato de la Cocina del Callao, the Dirección Desconcentrada de Cultura del Callao, and the Centro Tierra of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.
