Sharing visions on the development of YOUNG CITY (MLODE MIASTO) was the main topic of the second meeting within CITY LABS’ programme of„Memory of Water” project (MemoryofWater-EU Creative Europe). It took place on 14 March 2019 in the Old Town Hall in Gdansk (the venue of the BSCC).

Our CITY LABS offer the space for public discussion on forms and directions for developing post-shipyard area in Gdansk, taking into consideration its cultural heritage value both tangible and intangible. This proces, initiated by people connected to art, culture and science fits , so popular in Europe nowadays, method of culture-led regeneration.

At the last meeting, the debate’s participants were representatives of the post-shipyard area property owners and developers, cultural heritage institutions and organisations, public cultural institutions and academia.

CITY LABS are the work-in -progress: we are documenting the discussions and summerising them. The blog (in Polish) which reflects this proces will be launched in April.
