Higgins Hall Auditorium, Pratt Institute School of ArchitectureAddress
This event will bring together leading architects, urban planners, designers and thought leaders to explore the path forward in rebuilding and reimagining Ukrainian cities through education and capacity building. In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, cities and communities have faced unprecedented challenges, leading to a profound re-evaluation of urban priorities. This crucial moment in history not only highlights the devastating impacts of "urbicide" but also opens a discourse on the resilience and future prospects of urban landscapes under threat.
The live event begins at 2:00 PM, the exhibit opens at 10:00 AM, and film screenings begin at 12:00 PM. A reception will follow. This event is free and open to the public with registration. This event is made possible by generous funding from Razom for Ukraine.
