Urban management and environmental issues in Lecce

Overview

In Lecce, discussions regarding urban management and environmental health have centered on architecture, mobility, and sustainability.

In late September, the 15th Architects Meet addressed the theme “Welcome Architecture. Abitare, ospitare, condividere” (To live, to host, to share). The event focused on how architecture and urban planning can manage urban transformation and over-tourism while maintaining city identity through urban regeneration and the conversion of marginal buildings.

By mid-October, local discourse expanded to include urban mobility and environmental health. Alberto Siculella, President of Menti Indipendenti, criticized the city’s transport management, noting stagnant passenger numbers despite high daily vehicle entries. Concurrently, the 19th “Environment and Health” conference at the University of Salento addressed the European Nature Restoration Law and the health impacts of climate change.
