MAKING SPACE_GIVING SPACE: two actions that summarize the challenges of contemporary urban planning. MAKING SPACE means opening up margins for maneuver beyond the rigidity of traditional plans. GIVING SPACE means recognizing new actors, practices and forms of governance. The 2025 international conference starts from this double tension to question the future of planning in a context marked by environmental crises, social transformations and territorial emergencies. The conference invites us to reflect on three key issues: how to make space, that is, which tools and approaches can make planning more adaptive; who occupies the space, exploring the role of institutions, collectives, communities and grassroots initiatives; what mechanisms regulate the space, to understand how to balance flexibility and norms, innovation and responsibility. The objective is to open a discussion between scholars, administrators and professionals on experiences, theories and practices capable of regenerating the relationship between plan and city. MAKING SPACE_ GIVING SPACE thus becomes not only a research topic, but a common horizon for rethinking the governance of the territory, building new possibilities for action and spatial justice.
