  • From strategy to tactic: transferring the collaborative framework of Daring Cities

    It is a cold November morning in Ravenna, a mid-size city in the Northern Italian Emilia-Romagna region. Thick fog covers the streets as the humidity of the nearby Adriatic Sea infiltrates the city, making it impossible to forget the vicinity of the sea in this seemingly landlocked city that originally gained its reputation as an impenetrable fortress protected by the coast, a lagoon system and numerous rivers. Life in Ravenna is connected to its waters in many ways: while the city’s proximity to the sea defined its destiny as a port city, the waterways covered or channeled into artificial beds occasionally resurface in the form of floods, signaling climate change that disproportionately affects the region.
