On 24 November 2025, MAINCODE was presented at the event “Progettare per e con le comunità locali – Approcci integrati per la mobilità e la rigenerazione urbana” in Turin. Ombretta Caldarice introduced the project through the talk “La trasformazione degli spazi pubblici residuali in rifugi climatici,” showing how underused public spaces can be redesigned as climate shelters. The event, organised by Politecnico di Torino and Regione Piemonte, gathered municipalities and experts to discuss integrated approaches to sustainable mobility and urban regeneration.
MAINCODE has been funded by the Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca (MUR), the Innovation Fund of Denmark (IFD), and General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) under the Driving Urban Transitions Partnership which has been co-funded by the European Commission. MAINCODE runs from 2025 to 2027
