This is a joint town planning project, involving inhabitants in decisions concerning the reorganisation of the city districts and roads by means of surveys, workshops on urbanity, information and entertainment. The project aims at carrying out interventions based on the inhabitants' proposals. Its uniqueness is the idea of the body as an urban life quality indicator: the higher the possibility the body has of expressing itself in an urban context, the higher the standards of living. The body concerned is that of everyday movement, coordinated to climb steps or walk along paths, playing, cycling, roller-skating, taking a seat, shaking hands, establishing relationships, or playing sports. This project is supported by UISP Ferrara. After eight years' activities, the body goes to the city has become a consolidated reality, yet still maintaining an experimental nature due to the diversity of the situations and places of intervention.

The reason for UISP being involved with cities is also because its task is to contemplate the body as a subject, an active part of living, moving not only for the achievement of competitive results, besides well-being, health and balance. Consequently, the concept of "rights" is present among our keywords, alongside "environment" and "solidarity", related to sports practices increasingly closer to the individual as well as to the expression of the voice of our body, for a new liveability.
