Summary
Pietro L. Verga has been researching and working on innovative, place-based sustainable development initiatives and strategies for nearly two decades.
Remarkably, he supported different Municipalities (e.g., Baia Mare, RO; Copenhagen, DK; Ferrara and Milano, IT) in the design, management, and/or coordination of European Projects and strategies focusing on community-led and participatory approaches, nature-based solutions, circular economy principles, and social innovation.
