To find your own path it is useful to rely on professionals and empathize with them.

LIVING WELL IN COMMUNITIES
With the conference “ONE WELLNESS. Living well in communities” moderated by Francesco Caroli, National Coordinator of the Healthy Cities Network, the cycle of meetings of the General States of Fitness and Wellness ends. The concept of wellness is forcefully entering the urban fabric of cities, pushing entire states to invest in the redesign of spaces that can put the human being and his social dimension at the center but the road is still long. Lorenzo Fioramonti, founder of Wellbeing Economy Alliance, underlined how there is an inconsistency between the desire to be together and the economic system of large cities, which are not structured with a view to aggregation. “We must change direction, not think about growth in consumption but in well-being and health”. This was echoed by architect Matteo Gatto, who underlined how this concept is “fundamental because more than 55% of people today live in the city. We need to shift the point of view and put wellbeing at the center of planning to provide citizens with experiences. We must think of a ‘Wellness City’ with urban, economic and public incentives”. The other speakers present: Veronica Baioccato, Exercise is Medicine; Antonio Maturo, Professor of Sociology of Health, University of Bologna.
