The meeting is introduced by Zenone Sovilla, journalist of the newspaper L'Adige.
All around the world, the number of cities with millions of residents is growing, with some now hosting tens of millions of inhabitants. From Asia to South America, from China to Japan to the United States, in most cases, these enormous metropolises are unable to provide sufficient living conditions. The air people breathe, the food they eat, the availability of services, and, more generally, the very possibility of survival are often at risk. Even in Italy, critical issues abound, starting with the high levels of pollution. A change of course is urgently needed in this area, beginning, for example, with strengthening rail or electric public transport. But is this really achievable?
