A meeting that, starting from the context of demographic increase and the growing trend towards urbanisation predicted for the coming decades, will seek to delve into the theme of quality of life in urban spaces and the role that contemporary art can play in making urban spaces welcoming and culturally stimulating. “Cities of the Future” is promoted by the Municipality of Prato, in coordination with the Foundation for Contemporary Arts in Tuscany and the “Arte Continua” Association.
