Plastics & Environment. Exploring environmental, sustainability and planetary health dimensions
4-5 June, 2026, Milan
The session examines the socio-economic, political and cultural dimensions of urban environmental transitions, focusing on how practices, infrastructures, public policies and governance systems shape pathways toward plastic-free, circular and carbon-neutral cities. Plastic is framed as a core element of urban socio-technical systems, embedded in everyday practices, institutional arrangements and power relations. The session highlights participation, education and public engagement, as well as environmental justice and inequality, approaching cities as laboratories of socio-ecological innovation and collective transformation toward more sustainable urban futures.
