Invitation to the presentation of the guide book and digital archive of Nova Gorica, the main results of the Ab Initio - Urban Utopia project.

We cordially invite you to the presentation of the book Nova Gorica  –  a new city on the border and the digital archive of Nova Gorica, which will take place on Tuesday, 28 January at 19:00 at the Knjigarna kavarna Maks in Nova Gorica.

The guide will take you on an exciting journey through Nova Gorica and its surroundings, offering a unique insight into the history, urbanism and culture of the conurbation of Nova Gorica and Gorizia, discovering the attractions that shape the identity of the area, and giving suggestions on which places to visit. The digital archive adds to the experience with more contributions and personal stories and testimonies  – you can contribute yours too!
