Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Prime Minister of Greece, envisions Faliro Bay as a 'Great Window of Attica to the Sea.' This vibrant coastal destination will be transformed into a recreational and cultural hub, boasting modern infrastructure, swimming pools, stadiums, and expansive spaces for diverse activities, including concerts, sports events, and cultural performances. The Prime Minister's vision aligns with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation's coastal walk initiative, aiming to connect Piraeus, Voula, and Sounio. By 2028, Aenaon Park will emerge as an iconic landmark, offering a tranquil escape and a green oasis. In light of increasing climate-related challenges, the project prioritizes sustainable infrastructure, including advanced drainage systems and green spaces to mitigate the impact of extreme weather events. With European funding and the Prime Minister's personal commitment, Faliro Bay is poised to become a world-class destination, combining leisure, culture, and environmental sustainability.

Our Secretary General, Chiara Ronchini, has been in Siena today, taking part in a conference on "Reinventing the (In)visible Cities" as part of a special ISOCARP - International Society of City and Regional Planners session on "Making the Real City Visible - World Heritage Sites Between Over-tourism and Everyday Life". Fascinating sessions explored the juxtaposition of the collective "picture-perfect" perception of cities vs the reality of everyday life, and how some of the problems which affect their authenticity and integrity are brought by the tourists who come to visit them. The aim of ISOCARP's 60th Congress is to 'explore how smart planning can create cities that work for all communities, leaving no one behind', and it gave Chiara an opportunity to describe the Great Spa Towns of Europe and its approach to preventing over-tourism, through examples of responsible tourism in the towns. It was also a great chance to talk about the participatory approach with local communities, and how the Great Spa Towns of Europe World Heritage Site is involving young people, the future custodians of the site, in its governance, through the #INTERSPACE project #fundedbytheEU (more on this in future posts!). #greatspatownsofeurope #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite #responsibletourism #conference #ISCOARP #Siena #Italy #invisiblecities #WorldHeritage #overtourism #Everydaylife #Localeconomies #Futurethinking #Imaginaries #Futuredesign #Strategicplanning

Interactive Sessions: Workshops and participatory activities helped translate ideas into actionable strategies. Field Visits: Trips to local sites like Angeiras and Cabedelo provided real-world examples of sustainability in action.

Recently, we had the opportunity to deeply explore the lives of the fishing communities in northern Portugal, thanks to an illuminating presentation by Abel Coentrão (Bind'ó Peixe - Associação Cultural) at the project's II Transnational Forum. This encounter allowed us to closely understand the challenges and resilience of these brave mariners. 🌊 Celebrating Maritime Culture in Our Transnational Community At SEALabHaus, we are proud to connect and highlight the rich maritime traditions of the fishing communities that are part of our transnational collaboration. From the coasts of Portugal to Spain, France, Ireland, and beyond, each region contributes a unique and invaluable story that is essential for understanding and preserving our blue heritage. 🐟🌍 Inspired by the vibrant discussions and the exchange of ideas about sustainable tourism that we had at our II Forum in Porto, we reaffirm our commitment to these communities. These are not only vital to the local economy but also guardians of ecological techniques and knowledge that can teach us much about sustainability and resilience. 🔗 At SEALabHaus, we are working to develop the 'Atlantic New Bauhaus Strategy for Blue Tourism, Heritage, and Maritime Culture', a key objective within our project. This strategy will effectively integrate blue tourism with heritage conservation and the promotion of maritime culture. We would like to hear from you: What aspects of maritime culture interest you the most? How can we work together to promote and protect these communities? #MaritimeCulture #FishingCommunities #BlueTourism #Sustainability #SEALabHaus #BlueHeritage Interreg Atlantic Area

That's the way you do it: Pont d'elena will be closed for car traffic in future. In order make the area safer for pedestrians and more attractive for tourism, the bridge will be permanently closed to normal car traffic, while maintaining fluidity of service for public transport and emergency services. The pedestrianization of the Pont in front of the Eiffel Tower is part of a series of measures aimed at reducing automobile traffic around major Parisian monuments. In the past, Paris has already taken many measures to make the city more attractive. The reduction of car traffic and the permanent greening of the city center are just some of these measures.
