The documentary, created thanks to the collaboration between geologists, urban planners and researchers, emphasizes the importance of understanding the natural forces that support our urban centers, or what we can define as a real primary infrastructure for cities. Knowledge of the characteristics of what lies beneath our metropolises is crucial for the resilience and adaptation of the cities of the future, in an era marked by increasingly evident environmental changes.

The screening of Città Sotto Pressione was an important opportunity for reflection and discussion on the solutions we can adopt to build safer and more sustainable cities, capable of facing the challenges posed by geological phenomena and increasingly evident climate change.
