Circle, of dialogue and co-construction in eco-neighbourhoods and sustainable towns and cities, that take the environment into consideration in the management of their resources.

The time has come for sober development, in harmony with our natural environ- ment. Today, technological and social progress is represented by these initia- tives, flourishing thanks to the convergence with the digital revolution. Digital technology offers a global impact to local

The first issue of open_resource magazine explores these numerous initiatives, so that its readers can share this inventive renewal.
