Dear Karim,
the Municipality of Cesena is situated in Northern Italy within Emilia-Romagna Region, some 15km from the Adriatic coast and it has 96.000 inhabitants. Since 2007 the municipality has established an European project office acquiring a great experience in project management. Cesena is a member of Eurocities (Environment forum) and the first Italian signatory city of the new “Green City Accord”, as well as the “Mayors Adapt” initiative.CLIMATE is one of the current Administration priority themes, and recent analysis on climate has been developed for the the city SECAP (Sustainable Energy and Climate Adaptation Plan) together with the National Research Council, and within the Interreg Italy-Croatia project called Adriadapt. Among the main tools to counteract urban heat islands these analysis identified urban forestry and greening; urban climate regeneration and natural based solutions; naturalization of the Savio river; capacity building for climate adaptation planning and stakeholders engagement.
We would be interested in better knowing your approach and possibilities to cooperate. Feel free to contact rossi_v@comune.cesena.fc.it
Best regards.UNION OF THE SAVIO VALLEY MUNICIPALITIES: the Union includes 6 Municipalities of the Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy), a large territory of 810 km2 with 116,000 inhabitants. The Union is characterized by high naturalistic and landscape values thanks to the variety of its ecosystems, from the mountain areas to the plain and along the Savio river that crosses and connects the entire area to the coastal area of the Adriatic Sea.
The rediscovery of slow and “outodoor” tourism, linked to sporting practices and well-being after the pandemic, has developed a new trend in the tourism sector that appears to be a unique development opportunity. In this context, skills of local economic actors and public governance effectiveness are fundamental levers to be strengthened and interlinked. We believe that the relaunch of tourism in inland areas starts, first of all, through the ability of companies to rethink themselves focusing on integrated services, closer to practices of sustainability and climate resilience to respond to new market demands and new environmental challenges. The bicycle tourism and its economy are concrete examples of it: the Savio Valley Union of Municipalities is developing together with private sector Innovation Labs to develop sustainable tourism and finding solutions to protect nature (https://www.vallesaviobikehub.it/). Being part of an Interreg Euro-Med project will allow to increase the attractiveness of the internal areas through the development of “Territorial laboratories for innovation and sustainability” in order to strengthen business networks towards designing and promoting innovative services for sustainable tourism.
Please feel free to contact me by email: rossi_v@comune.cesena.fc.itDear Francoise,
thank you for your message, sorry for the delay bud I did not accede the platform during the last weeks.
Your idea is really interesting, we have an annual festival in Cesena called “La bellezza delle parole”, dedicated to writers and literature. Cesena Municipality has always been working on public readings as a tradition, and together with surrounding municipalities (the Union of Savio Valley Municipalities) organised DanteTour last year, by combining readings of Dante poems to other artistic events, in natural locations.
Please, write by email whether you think it can be of your interest in going deep through these issues, and we could also have a call.
