  • Thanks to ALT/BAU the ball started rolling - Artur Gliwicki describes how the transfer of the Chemnitz good practice is going in Rybnik

    Once upon a time, in the spring afternoon of 2018, I was called by the Deputy Mayor of Rybnik Piotr Masłowski and asked if I’m interested in participating in the URBACT project. Without knowing the details, I enthusiastically agreed, and it started… for good!
    What we achieve thanks to "ALT/BAU" goes far beyond the stereotype of European projects and their products. We use the opportunity to "repair" the city in residential field. We have a new, fresh perspective, and when we add to it the german genesis of Good Practice, here: in Upper Silesia we meet a very positive reception of the idea of its transfer to the Rybnik soil. Find out how it went.
