On August 15, Pier Maria Giordani, CEO of Recs Architects, featured on Rai Radio 3’s special program “Ferragosto and the Future of Cities.” The show addressed the pressing issue of “overtourism” in popular tourist destinations, highlighting the stark contrast between the influx of tourists and the growing number of Italians who are unable to afford vacations. With over 250 million euros in loans requested, including many from young people, the need for innovative solutions is evident.
In his segment, Giordani emphasized the critical need to envision and design cities that are both livable and inclusive. He shared insights from his extensive work, including the Laguna Eco Park project in Brazil, and discussed his book, *”How to Build the City of the Third Millennium.”* The book presents a model for future cities that can be replicated globally, catering to all social classes.
