The International Green Urbanism conference series is a global platform dedicated to advancing innovative thinking and practice in sustainable, resilient, and regenerative urban development. It brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and urban stakeholders to exchange knowledge and address the complex environmental and social challenges shaping cities today.

The 10th edition is hosted at Sapienza University of Rome, in a city where urban transformation has unfolded continuously across centuries. Rome’s layered urban fabric and capacity for adaptation make it an ideal context for exploring how historical cities can inform future-oriented approaches to green urbanism. At a time marked by climate urgency, ecological pressure, and social change, the city provides a living framework for examining resilient and regenerative urban strategies.
