How do Prague and Bratislava differ in terms of legislation and construction conditions? How can Bratislava grow within its current boundaries, develop in parallel in multiple areas, and become a compact city of short distances? And how can it increase housing affordability, support inclusion, and improve quality of life? A team of experts answers these questions in the book Rozumne rastúce mesto (Reasonably Growing City). It offers specific solutions and inspiration on how to better understand Bratislava's problems and where to look for its potential. The event presented the basics of the concept of polycentric urban development and showcased specific Bratislava development projects in various phases, from proposals to implementation.
