We will present current projects, ongoing constructions, and future stages of the city’s development. During the expert lectures, we will focus on public participation and current trends in urban planning, including a critical perspective on so‑called participation washing . The programme also includes presentations of student projects; among them a proposal for the renewal of the Hodonín railway station.
