World Heritage and Ecological Transition

ARCHITECTURE HERITAGE and DESIGN | 9 Series founded and directed by Carmine Gambardella

In 2022 the Capri International Forum ‘Le Vie dei Mercanti’ will reach its 20th edition.
A Story of love for the Earth and its Inhabitants, Landscapes, Architecture, Cultural and Archaeological Heritage told by over 7000 Scholars and Academics from all over the World in an interdisciplinary way, by integrating skills, experiences, good practices in order to train talented people who care about the destiny of our Planet.
If the Future is an Eternal Present, the renewal of the Forum in these twenty years has produced a wealth of knowledge to guide those who govern and administer the Public Good, and citizens in their daily activities. A future that must be prepared in this era, that cannot ignore the ongoing climate change and that should not catch future generations unprepared.
A Present that transmits to the future the values that Humanity has passed on to us and that must be protected and transmitted as regenerative sources of Humanity itself.
