    NEW CITY HABITAT Conference in Krakow

    We were all supposed to meet in Krakow for the New City Habitat conference on 25th of September…but Covid-19 did now allow us to do so. Yet, our colleagues from the Polish city were not disheartened about it and put up what we, unanimously at RU:RBAN, considered as one of the best online conferences we’d ever participated in: from the technical smooth running of all activities and speakers’ interventions to the quality and variety of the presentations which managed to catch participants’ attention and concentration throughout the entire duration of the conference. In not so many words: a successful conference from any angle one would look at it.
