Cittaslow - Definition and Overview

Cittaslow, literally slow town, is a movement founded in Italy in July of 2000. The inspiration of Cittaslow was the Slow Food organization, and its goal was to resist the homogenization and "Americanization" of cities, where standardized franchise stores dominate.

For towns that fulfill a list of 50 requirements, the organization confers a Cittaslow certification.
