What next for Florence?
In a major speech at the end of May, Dario Nardella, the Mayor of Florence set out a vision for the socio-economic reconstruction of Florence following the devastation of the COVID-19 crisis:
“The challenge is to embrace this moment as an opportunity…to devise and create a new model of social and economic development for the city, which holds together its more traditional vocations of culture, art, tourism, industry and manufacturing with renewed functions as a smart city, whereby artisan workshops, biotechnology, modern enterprises, infrastructure connecting and supporting businesses, research and professional training centres, selected
tourism and high technology can co-exist and fuel one another… The Florence of the future must be more intelligent, inclusive and greener.”
Four local internationalists discuss what this challenge means for the city and how it can be constructed
• John Hooper, Italy correspondent for The Economist
• Georgette Jupe, editor and blogger Girl in Florence
• Morgan Fiumi, digital entrepreneur
• Marco del Panta, Special Adviser to the Mayor for International Affairs and Higher Education
Chair: Simon Gammell, British Institute of Florence
Audience interaction encouraged, as we explore the ways to build a better Florence for everyone
Firenze NOW! will run as a Zoom Webinar for the first 100 participants; others can join via a live stream on Facebook, and participate through the comments chat.
