| l.d | CITTASLOW URBAN PLANNING. How will the European city of tomorrow be designed and built? Green building and hi-tech will go hand in hand with tradition, traditional building materials will be appreciated once again and skills will be handed down from generation to generation, creating a value chain based on social values. Furthermore, priority will be given to promoting sustainable development that protects and enhances the landscape, including aspects of landscape identity, by spreading the culture of the landscape and through appropriate landscape planning. |
