The reborn Mariupol: creating the urban city vision

We are thrilled to invite you to an important presentation-discussion featuring a team of researchers, designers and urbanists who have been deeply involved in framing the vision for the city of Mariupol. This discussion will highlight the findings from engagement process, the narrative, and the narrative translation into urban application.
Our speakers will share their personal experiences and reflections on the vision of a rebuilt Mariupol (a city in Ukraine vastly impacted by the current war happenings), and how this inspiring project has impacted their personal and professional perspectives. They will discuss the upcoming long and difficult journey of rebuilding not only buildings but, most importantly, people’s lives and dreams.
This discussion is an opportunity for all of us to reflect on the importance of collaborative work and the commitment needed to bring about meaningful change. Our speakers’ message of hope and inspiration will resonate with all those who are passionate about building better communities and creating a brighter future for all.
