Don’t miss Professor Christian Iaione’s interview on Sky TG24 during Live In Roma!
Alongside Alberto PINORI, Director of Harley&Dikkinson, and Professor Mihaela Gavrila from Sapienza Università di Roma, Professor Iaione discusses 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in Italy, emphasizing the importance of sustainable investments and a shared vision between public and private sectors.
“Social sustainability should be a responsibility of public administrations,” says Professor Iaione. “The fact that it has become widely accepted and that private entities are also involved means we are moving in the right direction. What we lack today is the awareness that this partnership model can accelerate processes and represents an Italian excellence.”
Professor Iaione also talks about 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 that connect young people and the elderly, highlighting how cities like Reggio Emilia and Rome are creating 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐮𝐛𝐬 to meet the needs of different generations. “With Covid, we learned that in difficult times, it’s essential to put the community at the center and provide spaces to meet common needs. Energy communities are emerging that produce energy for families in need of support.”
Finally, he discusses the European Union’s program to create 100 climate-neutral and smart cities, stating that “the idea is to empower communities and create governance mechanisms that involve both the public and private sectors.” He cites Amsterdam as an example of innovation and also mentions non-EU countries, like Nigeria, that are integrating the principle of social sustainability into their ecological transitions.
