Cittaslow
From Freepedia
Cittaslow, (literally slow town, but rendered into English as Slow City) is a movement founded in Italy in July of 2000. The inspiration of Cittaslow was the Slow Food organization, and its goal was to resist the homogenization and "Americanization" of cities, where standardized franchise stores dominate.
It is part of cultural trend known as the slow movement.
For towns that fulfill a list of 50 requirements, the organization confers a Cittaslow certification.
