Workshop "Society and Space: How to Research Cities?"
Chernivtsi, UkraineWorkshop will bring together Ukrainian and European organisations with extensive research experience. Participants will learn about different methods of city research, and the impact it has on practice, exchange experiences, and examine real-world cases of working in wartime conditions. The program will include presentations from representatives of organisations such as Cedos, Urban Reform, Ro3kvit, ReStart, GIZ, ORG, and Dutch-Ukrainian collective project Panorama Ukraine, as well as group discussions and panel sessions.
Ukrainian cities and communities face a critical challenge — preparing for recovery and laying the foundation for sustainable and just development. This requires a deep understanding of the ongoing situation in different parts of the country and analysis of the suitable best practices. Urban research has become a vital part of contemporary urban planning practice, opening us to a wide range of methodologies.
The discussion will focus on key aspects such as city and community research, participatory practices and immediate steps for recovery. The event is expected to culminate in the accumulation of best practices and the development of a common approach to working with cities and communities, which will serve as the foundation for their future development. The discussion will also place Ukraine's recovery within the international discourse on urban planning.
