Lviv Urban Forum
Taking Responsibility
June 27-29, Lviv
About the forum
To preserve and restore our cities, we must take responsibility.  Here and now, everyone in their place - mayor, architect, business, residents. We should not wait for opportunities, but create them, work harder, move faster, make difficult decisions, adopt best practices and apply them wisely in the local context.  

We are responsible for the present, so with limited budgets, we have to invent mechanisms to rebuild housing, to create a system of care for thousands of citizens affected by the war, to ensure a quality of life for communities that will allow human potential to be realized not tomorrow, but today.

We are responsible for the future. At the second urban forum, we will continue the dialogue on what urban planning policy and legislation should be, what tools and resources can already be used for qualitative transformations in cities.

We are responsible for the past and its worthy memorialization in the urban space, for the preservation of historical heritage, which should become an asset, not a burden for the community.

We invite you to create the 2nd Lviv Urban Forum with us:
Mayors and heads of Ukrainian communities
Chief architects and heads of departments
Representatives of the government and relevant ministries
City planners and urban planning specialists
Scientists and students
Civil society
Citizens
