Across the world, cities are joining the “Slow City Movement“. The idea is to counter the ever-quickening pace of life in the wake of globalization with a conscious effort to build community, foster sustainable goals for businesses and within cities, and preserve the uniqueness of smaller cities. The main idea is to slow down and enjoy life, and to support what adds to that sense. Cities must have fewer than 50,000 residents to be considered a Slow City. They must also agree to a 54 point charter defining the goals of the movement. These cities have started sharing information and best practices across the globe. More info here.
