Last week, I had the opportunity of attending in the 60th ISOCARP - International Society of City and Regional Planners congress, themed "Reinventing the (In)visible Cities," in the beautiful city of #Siena. This was my first experience in such a forum, and it was an incredibly stimulating and insightful event, filled with enriching discussions with experts who share a common goal: planning for better cities. In a panel of presenters from all over the world who showcased their latest research and innovations, I had the pleasure of co-presenting a case study from the Horizon project WOODCIRCLES, titled "Challenges and Opportunities for Closing the Loop on Wood in Urban Areas" with my colleague Madalina RUSEN in Track 5 - Circular Urbanity. Special thanks to Madalina for sharing the stage and this valuable opportunity with me! The days flew by with many insightful moments and plenary sessions where keynote speakers and experts such as Orna Rosenfeld, PhD, Carlos Moreno, MASSIMILIANO FUKSAS ARCHITECTURE, led thought-provoking discussions on the future of urban development. A sincere thanks to Pietro Elisei and Sabina Reichert for their tireless efforts in organizing such a remarkable congress and for the constant support they provided to the URBASOFIA team everyday. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from them and all the professionals I connected with during this inspiring experience. As Carlos Moreno said in his presentation, cities are at the core of the causes of many problems in our society, but they are also the key to solving these problems in order to build more sustainable, circular and inclusive urban spaces! #WPC60Siena #ISOCARP #Siena #urbanplanning
