Debate "So Happy, So Tired. Wellbeing and the Pace of Life during Gdynia's Centennial"

13a Waszyngtona, Gdynia

13a Waszyngtona, Gdynia

This is an invitation to a conversation about what a good life in the city means today. From its very beginning, Gdynia was designed as a modern, comfortable, and friendly place for its residents. Access to light, greenery, education, culture, and recreation was meant to form the foundation of urban well-being. A hundred years later, it is worth asking whether these promises are still relevant and how we understand them in the modern world.
