Skyward Cities
The rise of vertical cities and the struggle to govern them
Today, two out of three people live in cities, and urbanization shows no signs of slowing down. Despite predictions that remote work and artificial intelligence would lead to emptying cities, the opposite has happened. Cities are expanding upward, becoming denser and more vertical. This trend makes them increasingly difficult to govern, with decision-making often gridlocked by conflicts of interest—even over the simplest issues. To ensure orderly growth and promote collective well-being, national governments—which have become less influential in the age of globalization—need to refocus their attention on their major cities.

Against Women
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Tackling Gender Discrimination at Work and at Home Discrimination still runs deep in many areas of our society. It’s unfair, it weakens social cohesion, and it robs us of valuable human potential – something we can hardly afford as advanced countries face demographic decline. Women, along with ethnic and religious minorities and people who don’t conform to mainstream standards of sexuality or appearance, are often the primary targets. This issue focuses on the discrimination faced by women, who have become the main victims of the backlash against inclusion policies, particularly those pushed back overseas. Maybe affirmative action – like gender quotas – has sometimes gone too far. But that doesn’t mean we should undo decades of progress in civil rights. So how do we push back against this rollback and keep moving forward in the fight for gender equality?Select options This product has multiple variants.

Can We Control Artificial Intelligence?
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
Managing Its Impact on Social Interactions, the Economy, Employment, and Our Democracies There is widespread concern about how artificial intelligence might affect our lives—changing social interactions, the economy, jobs, health, information, and the functioning of our democracies. Leading scientists have called for a six-month pause on its development to better understand the path we are on. But technological progress isn’t something we should just passively witness. We have the power to shape and guide it. In this issue, we present ideas on how and where to take action to ensure artificial intelligence complements human work and improves well-being, this time without harming those with lower incomes.Select options This product has multiple variants.

The European Opportunity
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
A more united Europe can become a leader among non-aligned countries, attract global talent, and strengthen the role of the euro Today, Europe has a unique opportunity to position itself as a global reference point, thanks to its independence from rival geopolitical blocs. But to seize this moment, it must become stronger and push forward decisively with deeper integration. That’s why, before welcoming new Eastern European countries, the EU needs to reform the rules that currently allow any member state to block decisions with a single veto. On the 40th anniversary of the Schengen Agreement, the European Union could also take a major step forward by introducing a shared social security code – an important move to strengthen the European identity that, for many young people, is already a natural part of their daily lives.Select options This product has multiple variants.

Let’s Open Schools
Original price was: 6,50 €.4,90 €Current price is: 4,90 €.
A More Inclusive Education System to Prevent the Waste of Human Capital in Italy Italy is facing a tremendous waste of human capital. Hundreds of thousands of well-educated young people struggle to find jobs, and when they do, they often end up in roles that have little to do with the skills they spent years acquiring through their studies. This is a loss we can no longer afford. Each year, about 100,000 people leave our workforce. Four years ago, only one in twenty companies reported staffing shortages; today, nearly one in two can’t fill vacant positions. To address this waste, we need to start with early childhood education, improve the quality of schools by valuing teachers’ work, and establish vocational pathways in higher education. Unfortunately, we are missing the opportunity presented by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr) to tackle these deep-rooted problems in Italy’s education system.Select options This product has multiple variants.
