SPIEF Starting Day (5 June)

Sociocultural initiatives and the creative economy are crucial components of urban planning. The main model for revitalizing small towns currently revolves around the creative economy. Long-term urban planning programmes are expected to focus on creating the necessary infrastructure. At this stage, monitoring and analysing successful projects is essential to identify opportunities for systematic development.
