The international festival of city making returns for Part 2 of its Ten Years Edition after a successful event in Rotterdam last May.
Over two days, the festival will bring together architects, developers, urban practitioners, community organisers, policymakers and people working in and around cities to look at some of the questions increasingly shaping urban life: who gets to make cities, how existing spaces and infrastructure can be used differently, what climate change means for public space and mobility, and how citizens can claim greater agency over the places in which they live.

The Museo Civico di Castelvecchio is one of Verona's most important museums, as well as one of the most compelling repositories of Italian and European art. The prominent castle that houses it, built between 1354 and 1356 alongside the Scaligero Bridge in Verona, was restored by renowned architect Carlo Scarpa starting in 1957. Carried out in several phases over 18 years, the project became one of his most significant works, revealing his admiration for Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture and traditional Japanese spatiality.

The museum is located within the La Scala di Castelvecchio fortress complex, spread across more than thirty rooms dedicated to sculpture, Italian and foreign painting, ancient weapons, ceramics, jewelry, miniatures, and historic bells.
