ARS Progetti, Ambiente Risorse e Sviluppo (Environment, Resources and Development) is an international consulting firm and th ... ink-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.
