Workshop contents：

The aim of the workshop is the analysis of the state of conservation of the old town (considering buildings, streets, public furniture, river banks, etc.) and the hypothesis of use of buildings "abandoned" and the enhancement ("valorisation") of the old town, considering, for example, the accessibility for all people.

The interview to the people (who are working;      who are leaving; who are there for tourism/rest, etc.).
