The conference will focus on the cultural infrastructure of Plzeň and other Czech cities.
What role does quality architecture play in the operation of cultural institutions and the images of cities? What is the state of the cultural infrastructure in Plzeň ten years after the implementation of the Plzeň – EHMK 2015 project? What plans does the city have for the next decade? Can examples of good practice from the Czech Republic and abroad help in their realization?
