[NEB Community Forum]: Rebuilding Ukraine: How not to repeat the mistakes made after World War Two

/

date:  02/05/2023

Last week Michal shared his thoughts on the rebuilding of Ukraine on the NEB Forum. He argues that a reconstruction of cities in Ukraine has to be guided by a framework that includes criteria based on human-centred urbanism and evidence-based architectural design (biophilic design and others). Otherwise, we risk repeating the same mistakes - building a lot of cheap, mass housing that will exacerbate social and psychological problems and will need to be replaced very soon.

Do you agree or disagree? Share your thoughts with Michal and the rest of the NEB Community on the NEB platform
