June 22 – What is the support that Italy has given to Guatemala in terms of urban development? A conference scheduled for Tuesday, 23 June (6.30pm) at the Italian Institute of Culture in Guatemala City will try to explain it. “The contributions of Italy to Guatemalan urban development” will see the participation of several experts. To kick off the debate, architects Danilo Callén and Susana Palma will explore the “strategic planning methodology for the future management of the disaster risks in historic urban areas.” Soon after, another architect, David Barrios, will talk about the contributions of Rome’s planning and of pre-classical Mayan cities. Finally, Edgar Barillas will present the importance of cinema as testament to the history of urban modernization and the role of Italian architects. (Red)
