Local Challenge 4: Kościuszki Square
Friday September 25, 2026 2:30pm - 5:30pm CEST
Yoga Room - PRZED·POKÓJ
Surrounded by characteristic heritage buildings, that house some of Wroclaw’s most emblematic art galleries, charming cafés and a historic department store now housing offices and a shopping centre, Kościuszki Square has the potential to be much more than the traffic junction it currently is. 
However transforming it is a complex challenge precisely due to its heritage constraints, the number of existing stakeholders, some with contrasting interests, and the limited possibilities for immediate physical change. For preservation reasons its green areas are currently unused, but the lack of activity creates nuisance of rats and overall neglect. 

However local stakeholders such as the art galleries and the café owner have a great interest in activating the square into a lively place in the city center of Wroclaw.  

In this local challenge we will work with the team of the City of Wroclaw and local stakeholders to address: How can Kościuszki Square become a more active, welcoming and cared-for public space in the city center through a gradual process of temporary interventions, stakeholder involvement and long-term learning?

Bring your best practices and lessons learned, and leave a positive impact on Wroclaw this Placemaking Week Europe.
