The influence of the Papal Encyclical Laudato Si' on the evaluation path: urban areas between conflict and solidarity, degradation and regeneration, exclusion and participation

The scientific seminar of the “SIEV” society was held on 14/15 of April 2016. The seminar entitled “The influence of the Papal Encyclical Laudato Sì on the evaluation paths: the urban areas between conflict and solidarity, degradation and regeneration, exclusion and participation” was hosted by the Campidoglio and the Architectural Faculty of La Sapienza University of Rome.
