	Evaluating Cittàslow: An East of England Pilot Project This study evaluated the process of applying the Italian concept to the UK context, and to the particular circumstances of the towns of Aylsham and Diss in Norfolk.

Cittàslow is a concept that enables local communities to create and celebrate towns "where the living is good". It is a new approach, developed in Italy, which applies the principles of the "Slow" movement and of Slow Food to our everyday lives, to the places where we live. more info		FREE (£3.00 is payable for p/p)
