Join the slow movement

Cittaslow towns are flourishing. Unique, vibrant and prosperous, we’re retaining our distinct identities in the face of global homogenisation. There’s an art to improving the quality of life in a town; a way in which the community comes together for the common good that generates a passion felt by residents and visitors alike. Our goals champion a holistic approach that strengthens communities and creates a better daily life for all. This is the legacy we’ll leave for future generations.

There are currently 147 Cittaslow towns in 24 countries across the world making Cittaslow an internationally recognised standard. Cittaslow is an accreditation that acknowledges the dedication and commitment of community members who work hard to make their part of the world a healthier, greener, happier, slower place to inhabit.
