kud Obrat

In collaboration with neighbourhood residents and other interested people, we are transforming a long-fenced-off plot of land near Resljeva Street in Ljubljana into a community space intended for gardens, socializing, ecological projects, education, and culture. In this way we are realizing the goal of the project, which is to examine and show the potential of degraded urban areas and the possibility of their receiving new value through temporary community-based interventions. Parallel to this the goal of the project is to enable spatial planning and developing in a participatory and processual way as well as enhancing and promoting possibilities for urban ecological gardening.

Check the project’s blog for more information.
