Bra, where there is a church clock that is a half hour slow, is not only the home of an international movement that promotes "slow food" but also one of 31 Italian municipalities that have joined the "slow cities". These cities have declared themselves paradises from the accelerating pace of life in the global economy. In Bin, the town fathers have declared that all small rood shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic. The city offers cut-rate mortgages to homeowners who do up their houses using a local butter-colored material and reserves commercial choice real estate for family shops selling handmade chocolates or specialty cheeses. And if the movement leaders get their way, the slow conception will gradually spread across Europe.
The argument for a "Slow Europe" is not only that slow is good, but also that it can work. The Slow City movement, which started in 1999, has turned around local economies by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra, where unemployment is only 5 percent, about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are thriving, many with sales rising at a rate of 15 percent per year. "This is our answer to globalization" says Paolo Satumini, the founder of Slow Cities.
France is the favored proving ground for supporters of what might be called slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model: short hours and long vacations. Yet the French are more productive on an hourly basis than counterparts in the United States and Britain, and have been for years. The mystery of French productivity has fueled a Europe-wide debate about the merits of working more slowly.
The increased French productivity tends to______.
