The primary focus is on reduction of disparities and improved quality of post-socialist urban environment (not only by positive transformation of residential landscapes but also by improved quality and accessibility of public spaces, increased provision of cultural and social events, increased support of entrepreneurial initiatives, strengthened identity, creation of common values, etc.). The organisers are looking for contributions that would address one of the following themes: New economic and social functions of post-socialist buildings, public spaces, estates and/or districts; Identity of, and differentiation among, post-socialist urban settlements; Values, well-being and sustainability challenge in post-socialist urban settlements.
