2 million

≈200,000
abandoned buildings in Emilia-Romagna alone
40%
of global CO₂ emissions come from the building sector

An ecosystem, not just a map
NuovaVita was born from the Ecosister programme and StartCup Emilia-Romagna: we connect people who own a disused building, people looking for a space to regenerate, and the people who can make it happen — skills, permits, funding — in one shared workspace.
Every place profile gathers data on surface area, condition and constraints; every project moves forward in the open, so the right person can step in at the right time.
