Understanding the City: New Year’s gathering, with two publications and an exhibition

With a network of associates, experts and active citizens and in the period of the past two years, we have conducted numerous gatherings and research, exchanges of opinions and knowledge, trainings and workshops, learning and strengthening within the program unit Understanding the City. We have presented the results in two publications: Towards Collaborative Governance: Interactive Urbanism and Public at a Distance – Democracy in Crisis: Analysis of Planning Procedures in the Pandemic, as well as on the online educational platform Interactive Urbanism (.com).

Due to the difficult physical encounters brought by the pandemic, the events that made up the work presented in the publications were held in the online presence of the audience. Out of that, we did not have the opportunity to provide you with printed copies of the publication. Therefore, we invite you to conclude this year with a gathering and exchange of opinions, where you will have the opportunity to pick up hard copies of these two publications. In addition, in the form of a mini-exhibition, you will be able to see the visual elements of research and workshops, created as a result of many years of work, and get acquainted with the educational platform Interactive Urbanism (.com).
