Cities in Placemaking: Jakub Mazur interview by the Good Place

"We want to improve the quality of life of those creating the city, that includes migrants. Welcoming thousands of immigrants from Ukraine changes everything. Provides new ways of thinking, strategy. Placemaking as a holistic idea brings values to that."
Jakub Mazur
