In an article by Pasquale Raicaldo, GrandTour explores the vision of “happy proximity” presented at the International Ischia Architecture Prize (PIDA), where Carlos Moreno received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The article highlights a fundamental shift in urban thinking: moving away from speed, long commutes, and car dependency towards neighbourhoods where essential services, nature, culture, and opportunities are within easy reach. It emphasizes the importance of reclaiming time, strengthening human connections, and making cities more resilient to climate change. The central message is that urban progress should be measured not by how quickly we travel, but by how much unnecessary travel we can avoid.
