For and from citymakers around the globe

A historic Vietnamese city is testing low-cost green projects to cope with rising heat and flooding, repeating by design what its old town once did by instinct.

The Prague Public Space Design Manual is a public governance document published in 2014 by the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR Prague).
