Beyond the Ideal City", promoted by City Space Architecture - <a href="http://www.cityspacearchitecture.org/?p=urban-visions-beyond-the-ideal-city">http://www.cityspacearchitecture.org/?p=urban-visions-beyond-the-ideal-city</a> - which is the first film competition in the Italian context involving film-makers at a professional level on topics related to cities and urbanity.</p>
