Panorama Ukraine: Healthy and Future-Proof Neighborhoods Workshop
Date: Tue 11 June – Fri 14 June 2024
Location: IHS, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Panorama Ukraine explores resilience in the areas of water, housing, mobility, energy,
governance, circular economy, biodiversity, and agriculture. Within these themes, it is
developing a series of events to distil an integral methodology to connect long-term
goals and strategies with short-term needs and emergencies. Panorama Ukraine co-
creates knowledge, experiences and practices developed in EU countries, in particular in
the Netherlands, and builds on these insights to create a vision and strategies for the
future of Ukraine.
With Healthy and Future-Proof Neighborhoods, Panorama Ukraine aims to explore and start with redefining neighborhoods for the 21st century and beyond. A 3-day workshop will be hosted in Rotterdam from June 12-14, 2024, with an opening presentation on June 11. The short time span will serve as a pressure cooker, where we will facilitate Ukrainian and Dutch stakeholders to come up with out-of-the-box solutions for specific cases. These cases can then also be used as examples for more systemic changes.Date: Tue 11 June – Fri 14 June 2024

For Healthy and Future-Proof Neighborhoods, we will work with six case studies: Drohobych, Ohtyrka, Kherson, Voznesensk, Kramatorsk and Klesiv. The Panorama content team together with our extensive network of UA and NL experts and designers has identified a number of sub themes we think are crucial for exploring the neighborhoods:
integral sustainability
inclusive participation (diversity)
human scale & community
gradation between public and private space
local identity
live, work & recreate (balance)
active, diverse program
healthy public space & landscape
multimodal accessibility
feasible development (finance + legislation)
housing models and policy (incl social impact and IDP)
migrant integration (housing, work, amenities)
safety (bomb shelters)
growing & shrinking strategies
The content team also envisages 3 different timeframes for approaching the case studies: short-term emergency response, mid-term actionable/ operational concepts and long-term strategies.
