[:mt]Dan ser ikun is-suġġett għall-konferenza li ser issir fiċ-Ċentru Mariapoli ta’ Castel Gandolfo mis-17 sal-20 ta’ Jannar 2019. Din il-konferenza qed tkun organizzata mill-Moviment Umanità Ġdida, mill-Moviment tal-Politika għall-Unità u mill-“Associazione Città per la Fraternità”. Il-ħidma ta’ dawn il-jiem ser tiffoka fuq it-tmexxja tal-ibliet, in-networking ta’ bejniethom u fuq mudelli ta’ sostenibbiltà u għajxien flimkien. Esperti u protagonisti minn pajjiżi differenti ser ikunu preżenti biex jagħtu l-ħsieb u l-esperjenza tagħhom fuq diversi punti relatati mas-suġġett.
It-tmexxija tal-ibliet dejjem kienet biċċa xogħol kumplessa, iżda llum saret aktar iebsa għax trid twieġeb għall-ħtiġijiet ta’ soċjetà li qed tinbidel il-ħin kollu, li trid tiffaċċa problemi lokali u globali u li hi kundizzjonat minn żvilupp teknoloġiku bla rażan li jġib miegħu ċertu riskji. Id-deċiżjonijiet li jittieħdu llum ser ikunu pjan li jiddetermina l-ġejjieni. Skont statistika tal-Ġnus Magħquda, aktar minn nofs il-popolazzjoni tad-dinja tgħix fl-ibliet li għandhom importanza strateġika, politika u kulturali qawwija ħafna u li qed isiru “social hubs” b’konnessjonijiet ċivili, politiċi, ekonomiċi, antropoloġiċi, komunikattivi. Qed jesprimu mudell ta’ identità ġdida mmarkata mill-parteċipazzjoni għax iċ-ċittadini kollha jagħmlu parti mill-istess familja umana u għandhom sehem mill-istess affarijiet komuni.
Dan juri l-ħtieġa ta’ ko-governanza u ta’ korresponsabbiltà fit-tmexxija tal-ibliet.It-temi prinċipali tal-konferenza ser ikunu: l-ippjanar urban, id-dinja diġitali u n-networking bejn l-ibliet, il-kultura ta’ korruzzjoni, iċ-ċittadinanza sħiħa għal kulħadd, l-ambjent u l-bidla fil-klima. Il-programm jinkludi wkoll workshops u working groups interkulturali li joffru opportunità ta’ diskussjoni dwar l-importanza tal-partiċipazzjoni u anki ta’ qsim dwar good practices u dwar networking bejn l-ibliet li jgħinu fit-tfassil ta’ policies innovattivi li jkunu siewja għall-quddiem.

[:en]400 administrators, citizens, economists, experts and professionals from all over the world will meet at Castel Gandolfo, Rome, from 17 to 20 January 2019 for four days of discussion and study on urban management, networking and models of sustainability and living together.
Among the experts and protagonists that will participate in this conference and share their thought and experience in a “post-democratic” era, one finds Emilce Cuda, a politologist from Argentina well-versed in Pope Francis’ thought, the Hon. Sunggon Kim (김성곤), Buddhist, former General Secretary of the Korean National Assembly, Ximena Samper, an architect from Colombia and the Hon. Ghassan Mukheiber from Lebanon, Chairman of the Arab Region Parliamentarians Against Corruption. The Mayor of Katowice, Poland, where the COP 24 has just taken place, Angel Miret, coordinator of the operational committee for refugees in Catalonia and Izzedin Elzir, the President of the Islamic Community in Florence and Tuscany are also expected to participate.
Urban management has always been a complex task, but today it is even more so. It needs to answer to a continuously changing society, that faces local and global problems and is conditioned by an uncontrollable technological development that causes the risk of great economical chasms and unprecedented areas of new poverty. Decisions need to be taken today, but these determine the future. Cities have a very strong strategical, political and cultural importance; they are “home” for more than half the world’s population (source UN), and this is not a free choice but it is often linked to lack of food and work.
In this era dominated by sovereignties, cities are becoming real social hubs with an endless number of connections: civil, political, anthropological, economical, communicative. They express a new identity model, marked not by exasperating localism or nationalism, but by participation and sharing in the same common affair, as we all belong to the same human family, even before we participate in it.
Co-Governance is being organized by “New Humanity Movement”, “Movement for Politics & Policy for Unity” and “Associazione Città per la Fraternità”.
