What role does architecture play in relation to the different forms of inequality in cities?
Milan Arch Week returns for its seventh edition—curated by Nina Bassoli, curator for architecture, urban regeneration, and cities at Triennale Milano, and Matteo Ruta, professor at Politecnico di Milano—with days of lectures, talks, workshops, and itineraries. The 2025 edition, entitled Inequalities and Architecture, is organized on the occasion of the 24th International Exhibition and aims to broaden and deepen the themes of Inequalities related to the issue of growing inequalities that characterize cities and the contemporary world. To reflect on these themes, leading figures from the worlds of international architecture and design, as well as urban planning and art, have been invited, with the participation of emerging studios and organizations.
