#Video Talks about the City
We present another video in our series of short statements by architects, urban planners, scientists and people associated with architecture and its related fields, "#Video Talks about the City." Each day we present video recordings from the panel organized by the Malopolska Regional Chamber of Architects of Poland as part of the International Architecture Biennale Krakow 2021, and right now we encourage you to send in more questions you would like us to ask the experts (you can send your questions to: kontakt@archibi.pl).
The guests invited by the Chamber address issues that can be divided into five topics: principles of development of urban structures, the role of space in shaping social attitudes, spatial planning tools, revitalization of space, zones and educational facilities, and preparation and professionalization of tasks.
Question:
The impact of the ideas of Jan Gehl, Jane Jacobs and urban grassroots movements on the transformation of urban space
