Welcome to Velo-city 2026 Rimini! During the opening session of this 33rd Velo-city edition we will talk about reshaping cities to improve quality of life, reconnect citizens and strengthen climate resilience. After a warm welcome from Rimini that will let you grasp how much Rimini changed in the past decade, we will further inspire you with our high-level keynote speaker! Elizabeth Diller is a visionary force redefining contemporary architecture, culture, and public space. She envisions urban space as a dynamic, democratized, and socially engaging environment and pushes back against the privatization of cities. Her approach focuses on transforming neglected infrastructure into vibrant public spaces. Be inspired!
