1st Metropolitan Workshop: Urban ideas towards a sustainable and inclusive metropolis

We invite you to an on-line virtual meeting next Thursday 7 October at 17:00 (Argentina time), with the double objective:

  • Presenting the 1st Metropolitan Workshop: Urban ideas towards a sustainable and inclusive metropolis organised by the Central Society of Architects, UN-HABITAT, the City of Buenos Aires and the Deliberative Councils of the Region.

Together with national and international experts and representatives of several municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires, the workshop will spark a conversation around the importance of metropolitan spaces and the need for a comprehensive approach of this scale to solve the main challenges we face in the 21st century.
