Upcoming Human Cities-event/
Design & Conflict
Cieszyn
Located on the Polish-Czech borderland, Cieszyn is the smallest town on the Human Cities map. The Castle Cieszyn crew together with local partners are working on an experimental process related to public transport, read here more about it. Their experience has shown that even such a service as communication in a small town is a field of constant conflicts: between pedestrians and drivers, cyclists and cars, residents’ needs and the needs of carriers, the right to parking space and the right to peace and greenery etc.
Therefore, the word CONFLICT appears as the main theme of the meeting of Human Cities partners in Cieszyn and the symbolic Castle’s birthdays. Not without a reason. Whether we like it or not, the city is a space of conflicts. To solve that it takes DIALOGUE. The dialogue may result in PARTICIPATION – a joint action that can prevent conflicts, or at least alleviate them.
