The Interdisciplinary Centre for Transformative Urban Regeneration (IZS) sees itself as a real-world laboratory for sustainability at the interface between science and practice. Together with players in urban and regional development, it develops and tests new solutions for the far-reaching change towards more sustainability. Real-world laboratories are opening their doors across Germany during a week of action. The IZS in Görlitz is also taking part and is inviting interested parties to its premises on Gottfried-Kiesow-Platz next to St Peter's Church on 1 July from 4 p.m.
