Parco Peccei Torino

The Park was named, not by chance, after Aurelio Peccei. Engineer, he grew up in Fiat, but he left it in 1968 founding the Club of Rome, which brings together intellectuals, scientists and statesmen. In 1972 the Club born the famous relationship "Limits to Growth", the first scientific study that studies the relationship between economy and environment, drawn up with the MIT of Boston. The report defines the fundamental principle of sustainable design: material consumption and the accumulation of waste can not continue indefinitely on an Earth of limited size and resources. Peccei died in 1984 but his perception of the global dimension of environmental and economic problems and of the need to face them with projects on the same scale remain a staple, today more than ever.
