Italian universities compared through the theme of resilience

Abstract

From the outset, it did not seem easy to openly compare many universities on the theme of ur- ban regeneration and landscape within a resilient approach, as declared by the title of the Italian Pavilion by Alessandro Melis. However, as a member of the curatorial team, together with Maurizio Carta, in the “Universities: Resilience Agencies” section, I had the pleasure of noting how the response of the individual universities was enthusiastic and constructive, demonstrating that confrontation is always possible and desirable when dealing with such compelling and global issues.
