Sassari also joins the “Jane’s walk” festival circuit
Conversations on foot along the streets of the cities: for the first time also the city of Sassari joins the international festival “Jane’s Walk”. which every year promotes city walks around the world to collectively observe, discuss and re-imagine the places where we spend a large part of our lives. “Jane’s Walk 2024: Walking for the Climate in Sassari” will be held on Saturday May 4that 4.30 pm, in the square of the old headquarters of the Gesù Buon Pastore church in via Ludovico Ariosto, for a duration of about two hours with a route that will take place within the neighborhood of Monte Rosello.
The Jane’s Walk festival celebrates the figure of Jane Jacobs, American scholar and activist who has focused her academic research on the social and aggregative functions of the “street”. And on how even a simple walk can be transformed into an opportunity for discussion, cultural exchange and reflection on city spaces. Jane’s Walks are not guided tours of the city but, on the contrary, they want to be a moment of dialogue and listening between participants on issues concerning public spaces and their use.
The climate walk
Sassari has also chosen to include its “Walk for the climate” within the process of updating the Climate Change Adaptation Plan”. Jane’s Walk Sassari 2024 aims to represent a unique opportunity to explore and discuss together the climate challenges that await us. Identifying the vulnerabilities and strengths of the neighborhood we will pass through.
Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in an experience of participatory mapping of the territory. Using your smartphone and an intuitive tool that you can download, you can detect potential vulnerable situations quickly and efficiently. But also to highlight the territory’s strengths in relation to climate risks such as heat waves, floods and droughts.
The walk is reserved for adults and minors only if accompanied. Participation is free and is free but it is necessary to register using the QR code and the link on the Municipality website www.comune.sassari.it .
Each participant is required to respect the rules of the road, pay attention to walking along pavements and cross the road only at pedestrian crossings to ensure their own safety and that of other participants; evaluate your ability to participate safely, as the walking route may present difficulties for people with reduced mobility; take responsibility for your behavior and actions, paying maximum attention and acting prudently to ensure a safe and pleasant experience for everyone.
