The “'Urbex Walkscapes”' project took place between the cities of Bologna (Emilia-Romagna) and Pescara (Abruzzo) from 1 January 2024 to 31 August 2025. The project arose from the need to provide a concrete response to the phenomenon of abandoned spaces in the cities of Bologna and Pescara, starting with the latter and focusing on active citizenship towards the public use of these spaces and towards. The objectives of the project were: - To learn about and promote, through art, the broad panorama of abandonment in Bologna, with reference to the Porto-Saragozza and Borgo-Reno neighbourhoods of Bologna; - To stimulate active citizenship with regard to the importance of abandoned spaces in the cities of Bologna and Pescara, and their possible reuse through cultural and grassroots urban regeneration practices; - To promote the participation of young people in artistic activities that lead them to greater awareness of the issue of abandoned spaces; - Connect young people through their participation in a series of night walks in the cities of Bologna and Pescara; - Support the use and acquisition of different artistic languages to give space to a broad personal and collective reflection on the relationship between the practice of walking, the experience of the urban night, and the dimension of the city today; - Encourage walking and promote soft mobility as a different and more sustainable way of getting around urban spaces; - Promote art and music by organising artistic and cultural events in both cities with the aim of connecting young people; - Create street art in some abandoned places in the city of Pescara, using street art as a tool to connect young people. The project involved six young people under the age of 30, all residing in the city of Bologna, and other young people residing in Pescara. Throughout the project, various activities took place in both cities, such as daytime and night-time artistic urban walks, workshops, seminars and two final events held in both cities.
