The Fondazione per l’Innovazione Urbana (formerly Urban Center Bologna), in collaboration with the City of Bologna, MEEO s.r.l., the University of Bologna, DedaGroup, CMCC Climate, Studiomapp, and sponsored by Climate-KIC and Copernicus EU, organized the Bologna edition of Climathon (27–28 October), the largest worldwide marathon for the climate held simultaneously in major cities around the world.
Participants were requested to develop ideas for innovative products and services to develop green and blue networks in the urban area of Bologna, concentrating on one or more of the proposed areas of the city characterized by different density and presence of green and open space.
