The Albenga GlassCity study is part of a broader doctoral research focusing on the urban, energetic, tourist-economic and socio-cultural development strategies of MedCoast AgroCities - Mediterranean Coast-Agricultural Cities. Specifically the book focuses on the case study of the city of Albenga. Located in the centre of the West Ligurian Coast, Albenga represents an interesting example of MedCoast AgroCity, within which there are tourist bathing activities, historic heritage, industrial areas and a large intensive agricultural plain, the economic hub of the city.
