ARS Progetti, Ambiente Risorse e Sviluppo (Environment, Resources and Development) is an international consulting firm and think-tank addressing interconnected elements of human development.
Established in 1992, following the gradual evolution of previous firms and associations, ARS Progetti is founded on an ethos, dating back to the 70s, that considers cultural specificity as an asset to human development. Culture, therefore, is a fundamental element within our system-based approach to our projects, whereby the "system" includes and focuses on culture, nature and socio-economic organisation.
We consider ourselves an open laboratory, within which innovative ideas are identified, developed and put into practice. Our ideas, the raw material, originate from the international scientific community within which we belong, while the engineering process, the how-to, is of our own creation and based on over 30 years of international, intercultural experience, as illustrated in our presentation video:
