The history of British urbanization processes and housing policies, starting with the great attention paid to the most fragile groups already in Victorian times, and its evolution over almost two centuries, is of great interest in understanding approaches and challenges, relationships between housing systems, inclusion, heritage and urban regeneration

In light of the recent travel restrictions due to COVID 19, the event will maintain a flexible nature and will be held online if travel to Italy is not permitted.

Urbanpromo is the most important Italian event on the topics of urban regeneration and Social Housing – promoted by the National Institute of Urban Planning with URBIT, the main foundations of banking origin and the Cassa dei Depositi e Prestiti – held on an annual basis since 2004.
