Rooted in the ReCITY project’s case cities Stepanavan, Sisian, and Charentsavan, the program applies innovative approaches to explore urban heritage, sustainability, and inclusivity. Guided by the cross-cutting principles of circular economy and gender-sensitive urban planning, the ReCITY Summer School combines theoretical reflection, methodological training, and future-oriented thinking, enabling participants to conduct context-sensitive urban research. Participants will contribute to developing practical solutions that support sustainable urban transformations in post-industrial small cities.
