Content:
  • Minister’s address in the Foreword: ‘The Social City Programme is the key urban planning programme: owing to it we bolster investments in social cohesion in our cities and neighbourhoods. The central role here belongs to city quarter management (...)’.
    The integrated approach of the programme has paid off. Urban planning and development intertwine with the labour market, education and public health protection, with the whole social sphere we live in. This is the only way that problems of city quarters can be resolved as a whole.’
