From September 1st, 2024, Dr Hab. Eng. Arch. Agata Twardoch, Prof. SUT, will take the office of the city planner and head of the City Planner's Office - a new unit at the City Hall in Gliwice.

As we read on the website of the city of Gliwice, the architect and urban planner associated with the Faculty of Architecture of the Silesian University of Technology will take over her duties on September 1st.
– We have chosen a person who is close to the idea of designing the city, districts and the immediate surroundings of its inhabitants in a way that will be good for the inhabitants of Gliwice and the environment. This is a person who is aware that changes must be carried out together with the inhabitants of Gliwice, who embodies the most important features of a city planner and, in my opinion, will be the best creator and initiator of changes in the space of Gliwice, taking care of the spatial order and the architectural heritage of Gliwice - emphasizes the Mayor of the city, Ms. Katarzyna Kuczyńska-Budka in the announcement of the Gliwice city hall.
Agata Twardoch became known to the inhabitants of Gliwice as the author of the design of several public spaces, including new arrangement of European Square and Chrobry Park in Gliwice.
– I am very happy and thank you for the trust put in me. I have a lot of work ahead of me, which will certainly give me a lot of satisfaction. As for priorities - I would like to make Gliwice a more friendly city, green, interesting, offering great opportunities. Taking into account the history of the city and its development to date, in my opinion these are plans that can be implemented - comments Agata Twardoch.
