Event

Open Central Europe aims to address urban vacancy by the temporary use of vacant spaces and by understanding and discussing the mechanisms of these practices. Our goal is to generate debate about the newest practices of interim use in Central Europe, and make their lessons learned more accessible, applicable by transforming them into a practical guide for Central European citizens, urban communities, public and private property owners. Open Central Warsaw is the first event of the Open Central Europe series.

The lecturers from Warsaw, Budapest, Bratislava and Katovice will shortly introduce their work and experience in the field of temporary property use and the strategies and specific challenges of their cities.
