At the 13th International Ischia Architecture Prize (PIDA), experts highlighted the urgent need to rethink urban development in response to rising temperatures, particularly in increasingly vulnerable suburban areas. The discussions emphasized data-driven climate adaptation, sustainable materials, greener public spaces, and bold political action.
Awarded the PIDA Lifetime Achievement Award, Carlos Moreno shared his vision of “happy proximity”, where essential services, nature, and opportunities are accessible within walking or cycling distance. His approach highlights how the 15-minute city can contribute to healthier, more inclusive, and climate-resilient urban environments, placing quality of life and human connections at the heart of urban transformation.
