Who we are

Interaktívna škola urbanizmu a územného plánovania is an organization focused on promoting knowledge and public understanding of urbanism and spatial planning.

Our work is centred on the relationship between people and their surrounding environments. We recognise that cities are complex living systems influenced by architecture, transportation, environmental conditions, social needs, public infrastructure, and community participation.

We believe that accessible education and open discussion can help people better understand how urban environments are planned, developed, and maintained. Our approach encourages curiosity, critical thinking, cooperation, and awareness of the long-term impact of spatial decisions.

02

Our purpose

Our purpose is to make urban planning knowledge more accessible and encourage informed conversations about the development of towns, cities, neighbourhoods, and public spaces.

We seek to promote a culture in which urban development is understood as a shared responsibility involving communities, professionals, educational participants, and other relevant stakeholders.
