Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice
| Project Id | 3624 |
| Project Name | Open Jazdów, Poland |
| Description | Open Jazdów settlement is both the name of a community and of actions undertaken in Jazdów settlement in Warsaw. After the Second World War, colony of Finnish houses that were constructed there, served as residential area for workers of Warsaw Reconstruction Bureau. The whole area is a park with 27 wooden houses, a unique situation in the middle of a city centre. Open Jazdów is a partnership of foundations, associations and other NGOs governing most of the area (with gardens). The partnership is open for access and cooperation, however, each of the partners are governed on their own, therefore having individual budgets and managements. Nowadays, Open Jazdów splits together residential and public functions. In the houses and adjacent gardens live and act next to each other: residents, non-governmental organizations, urban gardeners and beekeepers, academics and students, artists and workers of businesses, cooperatives, embassies and public institutions. |
| Description of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the project | It created a original model of social governance and management of urban space/living space. It managed to protect a valuable, unique area in the city (park area) which would otherwise be turned into blocks of flats. It is a creative centre for NGOs and local community to exchange ideas and experiment. It also helps form a local identity. |
