Countless Cities
The Biennial of the Cities of the world.
June 24, 2023 - May 28, 2024 (pre-opening June 23, 2023)
What do you like about a city? What makes a city pleasant? What are the different areas of pleasure that can affect the urban dimension? Charles Landry in "The Sensory Landscape of Cities" sees cities as a 360-degree, enveloping, immersive experience that has emotional and psychological impacts. Pleasure and Cities is the name of the third edition of Countless Cities, the Biennial of the Cities of the World which, without hypocrisy and moralism, aims to explore the different aspects related to the dimension of "pleasure" that can lead us to prefer one city over another.
