About me

Beata Patuszyńska – for over 15 years I have been involved in property sector as public relations and marketing advisor. I am also a mother.

Connecting the two roles I started investigating children’s experience of a city.

I believe children are important participants of urban space and therefor they should be included in deciding about its shape. I believe also that truly smart solutions are simple and they don’t need to employ state-of-the-art technology. Very often children spot them first.

That is why I talk and listen to children speaking on their experience of urban space. Later I share my findings during conferences, writing articles and educating.

I am based in Warsaw, Poland.

If you have any comments or ideas, please contact me. I will be happy to talk.
