Introduction to the topics of the Conference with the participation of the Guests of Honor.
14:10-14:40 Metropolis is a WOMAN
A conversation with women leaders who are passionate and committed to managing large cities. We will talk about how women are changing the faces of modern metropolises, how they are shaping their future, and how they influence the styles and methodologies of city management – its ambitions, priorities and key challenges. Among other things, we will face the question of whether differences in city management styles (women vs. men) are stereotypes, or rather the beginning of a promising trend that will change more and more Polish cities for the better. Hear the experiences and visions of female leaders who face extremely complex challenges every day, introducing increasingly innovative and bold solutions in city management.
