Venice Urban Lab
About us
We are an association for social promotion and innovation, open to civil society, embracing cultural diversity and multiple skills, committed to engaging the resilient community, today's youth and the next generation.
Venice Urban Lab was founded in 2021 on the initiative of Sergio Pascolo, a promoter of Venice's sustainable future for over a decade, and author of the essay "Abitando Venezia" (2012) and the book "Venezia Secolo Ventuno. Visioni e strategie per un rinascimento sostenibile" (2020).
In addition to its members and a multidisciplinary group of local and international citizens and professionals, the association involves a dense network of professors and scholars from various disciplines and interacts with associations, artisan businesses, administrations and institutions, schools, and universities.
We believe in the power of transgenerational collaboration.
Everyone is invited to join us and take an active part in caring for the city today and in designing the city and community of the future.
