The event, organised by Cedos, will explore how the meaning of nature is evolving today in the context of war, climate change, and the rapid loss of biodiversity. Participants will reflect on questions such as: How does war affect the environment? What might a more-than-human city look like? How can we develop and sustain green social infrastructure, and what challenges may Ukrainian cities encounter along this path? What characterises Ukrainian landscapes today, and how are they changing?

This lecture by Ro3kvit 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.

How do communities make decisions about land during and after the war? Who decides how land is used in cities and municipalities? Why is the local level crucial for sustainable development and the recovery of Ukraine? In this lecture organised by Ro3kvit, experts will present the results of a study conducted in Vinnytsia municipality: how local authorities view future land use, what factors influence decision-making, and why their long-term role in land conservation often remains “invisible.”

Join an open lecture within the framework of the Communities at the Heart of Urban Changes project, where Ukrainian communities collaborate with Dutch partners to explore new approaches to urban planning.

Join the event by NGO Vision Zero showcasing the results of a sustainable post-war restoration project for the community of Konotop in Sumy region, Ukraine. During the project presentation, you will be able to explore insights on local challenges and visionary post-war urban projects for cities in the East and South of Ukraine. 

Join for a lecture on the "Safety & Security" report developed by Ro3kvit experts — a set of recommendations on how to integrate safety into urban planning. These insights will be valuable for municipalities, architects, urbanists, and local activists. The lead author of the report is Albertas Tamashauskas, security expert and manager of urban mobility and development projects at the Mariupol City Council.

At a time when many Ukrainian cities have lost their public spaces — physically or symbolically — questions of belonging, mutual support, and cultural life become especially significant. The culture commons model — the shared use of cultural spaces — opens up new possibilities for recovery: not only infrastructural, but also social. Join Ro3kvit lecture by Marijo van Schaik that will be followed by a short reflection by Anastasiya Ponomaryova - an architect, researcher, and co-founder of NGO Urban Curators and СO-HATY initiative.

Participatory processes empower communities to influence decision-making and shape a more comfortable urban environment. They create opportunities for dialogue, engage diverse groups, and foster collective solutions that improve city life. How to choose the most appropriate method for a particular context? Join the discussion by Ro3kvit Urban Coalition for Ukraine.

Join Kharkiv School of Architecture, Ro3kvit, Norwegian Refugee Council and parters at the Architecture of Unity – the exhibition, which celebrates the strength and spirit of a collaborative initiative - the Ukrainian student-led visions for their future, with a specific focus on the city of Dnipro and the Dnipro River Basin. The exhibition showcases the research and ideas developed by over 100 students of architecture and urban design.
