Re: not very OT: Segonzac is the first cittaslow in France

February 9, 2011

Â

A happy event for a once, from Italy, the slow movement is arriving in french

towns, Segonzac is the first one, 2 other cities have made the papers too.

Sounds good to put ecological matters at the right place in a whole ciy.

Here are some informations in English

It would be interesting to know what the 50 values are.Â I couldn't find it in

their website just general info.Â How can one tell if it is a good idea without

the details?

I could not send here the french informations on this english list^^ and thought

that it should me, more or less, the same....

It is not, all the more as each cittaslow is focused on case studies more than

the goals, which are only a start, a kind of tool.

We've seen a lot of things about that on TV, papers, internet, in french. The

people of Segonzac simply said that it was because they were still living this

way, since a long time, ignoring this cittaslow label, that the administrative

stuff and labelization was so simple and easy.

But I agree with you, damned cartesians^^

" Whatever is well conceived is clearly said... and the words to say it flow with

ease. " Boileau is right too.

I would like to see in details the 50 goals, I sent a mail to the italian

website.

I guess that any applicant can ask for the application form (maybe only for

maiors ???)

Here is the UK a link wih details

he more details

it seems to be an application form for the maiors, a sort of MCQ, which is the

start of the work between the committee, and the city.

The label is only given for 3 years.
