How do Prague and Bratislava differ in terms of legislation and conditions for construction? How can Bratislava grow within its current boundaries, develop in parallel in multiple locations, and become a compact city with short distances? And how can it increase housing affordability, promote inclusion, and improve quality of life? These questions are answered by a team of experts in the field in the book Rozumně rostoucí město (A Sensibly Growing City). It offers concrete solutions and inspiration for better understanding Bratislava's problems and where to look for its potential. The event will present the basics of the concept of polycentric urban development and showcase specific Bratislava development projects in various stages – from design to implementation.
