Lviv Urban Forum
Defining the values
June 28-30, Lviv
About the forum
How to rebuild Ukraine? Should we restore the destroyed spaces and buildings the way they had looked before, according to the values system which prevailed in Soviet and post-Soviet times?

Today we have a chance to rethink and get rid of outdated and often harmful urban planning practices and to lay a solid foundation, mainly values and advanced practices for  further development of our cities and villages.
What strategies would be viable, while many communities have lost their most valuable resource – their citizens? And, how can we bring them back?
How to make the spaces comfortable, inclusive and livable, so that citizens wanted to return and self-realize in their own community?
How to optimize the budget and resources to find inexpensive, but at the same time efficient solutions that will have immediate results?
How is our urban planning legislation developing and what prevents us from integrating with Europe?

The international and Ukrainian urban planners and architects, those who contributed to defining the principles of European urban development, and those who currently bring them to life in Ukraine, will think together to find the answers to these questions.
