The office works in an interdisciplinary way, i.e. with the involvement of as diverse and useful a range of knowledge and perspectives as possible in addressing complex city issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim of the participatory process is to identify needs, to improve the quality of the plans adopted, but also to strengthen the public&#8217;s relationship with the city and specific spaces. The Participatory Planning Office seeks to involve a wide range of people, including groups that are not heard in conventional planning, especially women, children, the elderly, people with specific needs, foreigners and others. Participatory planning is a cross-cutting discipline in which contemporary megatrends such as climate change and social inequalities resonate strongly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The office also systematizes knowledge on participatory planning and their implementation in planning practice.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"person-big-block\">\r\n        \r\n        <div class=\"container\">\r\n            <div class=\"row\">\r\n\r\n                \r\n                                    <div class=\"col-lg-6 static\">\r\n                        <div class=\"person\">\r\n                            <div class=\"person-info\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"person-img\">\r\n                                        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"260\" height=\"260\" src=\"https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-260x260.jpg\" class=\"attachment-person_260x260 size-person_260x260\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-260x260.jpg 260w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-305x305.jpg 305w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-280x280.jpg 280w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-635x635.jpg 635w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-740x740.jpg 740w, https:\/\/mib.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/juraj-hurny-scalec-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"person-meta\">\r\n                                                                            <h4>Mgr.
