Conference Lithuania for All 2025
The scientific and practical event reviewing the experience of forming humanized urban spaces in Lithuania will bring together specialists from different fields of science and practice, user groups and representatives of society from Lithuania and other countries. Citizens' needs are the key starting point for design solutions, legal regulation and its improvement. Over the past decades, we have achieved a lot in Lithuania, but we must strive for even higher quality in planning, building and using urban open spaces, providing information, and making goods and services accessible to everyone. At the conference, domestic and foreign scientists, environmental development specialists and users themselves will jointly search for and propose solutions on how to further improve the accessibility of urban open spaces and create an environment accessible to everyone.
- Sustainable environment in all fields. Accessibility of existing buildings and urban open spaces.
- Active society and environment for all. Regulation, monitoring and control.
