The Architectural Policy of Slovakia (APS) is a strategic document that for the first time defines a vision and framework for the systematic development of the quality of the built environment in Slovakia. Approved by the government in December 2025, it focuses on improving settlements and landscapes, the quality of buildings and cities, society’s relationship to architecture, and supporting research. It also explicitly incorporates the principles of the New European Bauhaus — sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion. Its objectives are to enhance quality of life, better coordinate development, and ensure the effective use of EU funds.

The book I edited and co-authored deals with several means how to revitalize unused publicly owned buildings and sites. We have come a long way. From the period of state ownership, through decades of wild privatization, to the renewed search for public interest. Buildings that were once factories, schools or warehouses can find a new use today. So they don't all have to end up in disrepair or as residential areas. Can municipalities recognize other types of collective investors who could give their city or district a different, community impulse?
