      The training focused primarily on how these information flows can be effectively integrated into modern urban-planning processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The initiative attracted a high level of participation from both technical and political representatives of municipalities across the Province of Vicenza, as well as numerous professionals, urban planners and local stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
