Torino is still shaped by the legacy of the industrial work which shaped the geography and social structure of the city. The city still has many empty warehouses, derelict forecourts and a transport infrastructure which took residents from the suburbs to the center, rather than across the city. The distinct urban zones arranged outside the centre of the city have distinct characters which find expression in youth culture and music. This is a source of energy for community activists trying to bring new art, culture and greenery to these communities, but they face a city government fearful to license public events after a stampede at a screening of the Champions League final in 2017 left three people dead and injured over 1,500 people.
