The war in Ukraine continues to affect people living in the country's cities. But amid the destruction and ongoing conflict, the country is determined to rebuild its cities and restore its cultural heritage. Throughout history and around the world, there are numerous examples of cities that have been rebuilt after war, some almost completely. What happens when a city is rebuilt from the ground up, and what geopolitical and economic realities do its citizens face?
Exploring post-war cities that have undergone remarkable transformations after periods of war and destruction, such as Rotterdam in the Netherlands, allows us to delve into the intricacies, strategies, and lessons learned from the rebuilding process.
This discussion is organized in collaboration with the Bouwkunde Bedrijvendagen -- a series of events taking place at TU/e from October 3 to 11, aimed at bringing students closer to the professional field of their interest.
