Our paper addresses some of the main changes made to urban security related debates and policies/practices in Italy over the last two decades and highlights to what extent EXPO-2015 has been a laboratory for new frameworks, devices and forms of cooperation between central and local institutions/police forces. Second-ly, it highlights to which extent such recent changes reflect the role that terrorist threats have played in the reconfiguration of urban security related policies, prac-tices and devices throughout Europe and North America over the last two decades.
