In spring and summer 2026, students in Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow, and Prague will research, observe, and analyze 4 case studies from each of their cities. Students attend a 5-day workshop in Krakow in April 2026, where they will have the opportunity to present their initial research findings and exchange ideas with fellow students, professors, and municipal representatives.
The students will design a set of guidelines outlining best practices for the design and management of POPS, contributing to the project’s goal of enhancing the quality and governance of public spaces in the Central European region. These guidelines will form part of the project publication.
