A peaceful invasion that filled the streets of Messina yesterday.
Thanks to the good weather, the 2024 edition of BICINCITTA’ took place in the city. Now in its 36th edition, the event organized by Uisp comes as a moment of confirmation of the commitment that the association demonstrates daily in the area with citizens and affiliated associations through social sport to promote healthy lifestyles while respecting the environment, to urban redevelopment, to transform cities from unsustainable cities to sustainable cities, to build a city on a human scale, for every form of inclusion and fight against inequalities.
BICINCITTA’ again this year was an opportunity to check up on the topic of sustainable mobility in Messina. A topic that is very divisive in every part of Italy if it is not addressed with the utmost agreement.
«For this reason, on the occasion of the press conference to present Bicincitta’ we asked the municipal administration to establish a “CONSULTATION ON SWEET MOBILITY”» they also explained yesterday before sending the ride.
«The participation of citizens is necessary and indispensable for every choice but in particular for those choices that can jeopardize change in a short time. Urban and social policies must not come from above: FROM THE BUILDING, but must be PARTICIPATED by citizens. It is necessary to establish the comparison. Witness the redevelopment successes started in many cities around the world starting from PARTICIPATION.”
