Let’s imagine Florence in 2035: it has become a global model for a low consumption, high prosperity and high quality life based on renewable resources - it is a city of ideas for the future. Where does this journey start?
An international group of students and design professors will develop a vision for a sustainable Florence in 2035 and propose ideas for small scale interventions that can be done today that will move us closer to that future vision
A collaborative project with New York University Florence, the University of Melbourne, the University of Delft, the University of Florence and the City of Florence.
