Today marks the opening of Towards a More Equal Future, an exhibition curated by the Norman Foster Foundation Team presented at the 24th Triennale Milano International Exhibition 2025. As part of the International Exhibition’s central theme, Inequalities, the Norman Foster Foundation Team shows a selection of projects that explore how architecture, design and urbanism can address disparities in housing, climate vulnerability and opportunity. These case studies span diverse geographies—from informal settlements in rural India to industrialised contexts in Portugal—offering tangible proposals aiming for a more equitable urban development. Through a combination of applied research on cities and settlements, design and educational programmes, the Norman Foster Foundation Team explores solutions for building more equitable and sustainable cities through the following projects:
- Odisha Liveable Habitat Mission (2018–2020)
- Master Plan for Kharkiv (2022–Ongoing)
- Industrialised Construction System (2022–Ongoing)
- Essential Homes Research Project (2022–Ongoing)
- Clean Energy Project—Nuclear Batteries (2019–Ongoing)
- Norman Foster Institute (2023–Ongoing)
The 24th Triennale Milano International Exhibition, curated by Stefano Boeri, will be open from 13 May to 9 November 2025. Through exhibitions, installations and public programming, it addresses global challenges linked to inequality across social, economic and environmental dimensions.
