Geodiversity and geological heritage in urban areas

October 6th marks UNESCO's Geodiversity Day, an essential expression and component of natural heritage and a key element for understanding the geological processes that shape the landscape.

Knowledge and promotion of geological heritage also play a strategic role in urban environments, both as a parameter for risk assessment and as a source of valuable cultural, educational, and environmental resources.

The conference aims to promote an interdisciplinary dialogue aimed at recognizing and integrating geodiversity into urban contexts, contributing to a broader reflection on conservation, spatial planning, and land development policies.
