Centrope (Central European Region) is a region taking shape and developing at the meeting point of four Central European countries – Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary –, and is based on the regional co-operation of the partner regions bridging over the frontiers of these states. Regular communication between the Central European regions serves this function and also orchestrates activities in the various special fields, to show directions for the elaboration of actual local programmes and a mutual vision of the future. Recently, the second meeting of architects organized was meant to find answers to the question: what kind of houses and cities shall the citizens of the region live in in the year 2020.
