About the webinar
Join us for this webinar, where you’ll have a fantastic opportunity to dive deeper into the CENTRINNO Cartography Tool. Learn about its potential to foster inclusive and locally productive ecosystems by mapping urban challenges, identifying stakeholders, and assessing available resources such as people, knowledge, skills, and infrastructure. During the session, we’ll also showcase the accomplishments of our pilot cities and how they’ve effectively used the CENTRINNO Cartography Tool to tackle environmental, social, and economic challenges in post-industrial areas.
