The idea of sustainability often sounds convincing in theory. But in industrial cities it always comes up against very concrete realities: industrial heritage, environmental risks, economic dependency, and questions of urban identity.

This lecture will explore strategic planning for industrial cities through the case of Kamianske, where the team worked on a resilience strategy for the local community. It is a conversation about the limits of what is possible, difficult compromises, and decisions that shape not only the economy or urban space, but also how residents perceive themselves and their city.

In this context, resilience is about a city’s ability to change while still remaining itself.

Speakers:

• Ruslan Antonenko, urban planner and architect, specializing in small- and medium-scale residential development, as well as public and private interior design. He holds a Master of Architecture degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

• Maksym Terletskyi, for the past four years served as Executive Director of the Lviv Urban Institute, a civic organization working on the development of sustainable and participatory urban environments.

The lecture will be moderated by Lilet Breddels, project manager at Ro3kvit.
