About event
➖ Come with us for inspiration!
Paco Bunnik, chief urban planner of Amsterdam and Finn Williams, chief architect of Malmö, will present how former industrial ports can be transformed into vibrant and sustainable neighborhoods for people. They will show urban planning principles and models of partnerships that balance social, economic and environmental benefits in connection with historical heritage. The subsequent discussion will also reflect the journey of Bratislava, which gradually discovers its own waterfronts and opens the topic of the transformation of the Winter Port.
