Mixed-use development. What kind of projects are needed in the Katowice metropolitan area considering that time is the most valuable currency and the quality of life has become the tool for attracting people?
There is no escape from mixed-use development projects. The modernist model of an ideal city, with each zone performing a specific function, no longer meets the expectations of the city’s population and is becoming obsolete. Striving for competitive advantage, developers are combining competences from many different sectors of the property market to identify opportunities for creating urban destinations with residential buildings, offices, commercial and service units, restaurants and cultural facilities. What kind of projects do Katowice and the whole metropolitan area want? What kind of investments could attract new residents and investors and improve the quality of life in this part of Poland?
