Katowice, Poland, 21 – 14 April 1999.

The venue of the pre-congress seminar was chosen purposely, since Upper Silesia is a region comparable to the Ruhr region in many aspects: their industries developed at about thed same pace in 19th century with coal mining and steel production – and in their wake came social problems, local authority reorganization, beginning of regional planning, decline of production, environmental deterioration, leading in the end to the question: what future for industrial regions?
