A century of great events: considerations, new geographies and historical perspectives - The subjects brought up during the first day of the international seminar held at the Polytechnic of Milan included, the longue durée, innovations in technology and construction, the goal of modernity, the celebration of an international identity and the formation of a collective memory, to name just a few. More than twenty speakers placed the accent on the relationship that has been established since the end of the 19th Century between great events and urban transformation, with thinking that was extremely relevant to today and probably useful for an interpretation of the contemporary period.

Keywords: Great events; urban transformation; continuity.
