Poland
Contemporary cities are places where civic movements are born, creative industries develop, new technologies are created and new ideas are born. At BoMiasto, we set ourselves the goal of collecting the best practices, provoking discussions about them, and trying to put these ideas into practice. We want to put equal emphasis on all these stages, because we believe that this is the only way to really influence the reality that surrounds us. Because it is important to us how and where we live.

Civic association PUNKT was established in 2007 for the purpose of promoting and supporting research in the field of design, visual arts, architecture and urbanism. They have gradually expanded their intention to comprehensively support the development of the city at various levels, supporting community life and the local economy, linking the needs of residents with urban development, as well as responsible waste management and its reduction in practice. Due to the scope of their activities, they have become the only non-profit organisation of its kind in Slovakia.
