During the workshops, their representatives shared their experiences in matters of an integrated urban planning.

Over the next two weeks, Dutch experts worked on creating concepts concerning the spatial character of each city. Thanks to the exchanges of ideas and observations, and also the European experiences of our experts, at the end of the workshops, two scenarios were created for each city. Participants had a chance to work on them on  23^rd November, during the second workshop session. Each scenario contains conclusion, insights and a list of the stakeholders, to help implement integrated approach and the project concept developed for given region by PosadMaxwan and Generation.Energy.
