Idea Competition:User-Generated Kiev

The ideas competition is organized by the ?ANactions 2014 international architectural festival around the topic of 'User-Generated Kiev', the goal of which is to generate ideas to improve urban planning in Kiev.
 

EuroMaidan, among other things, has brought Ukrainians to the understanding that every city is being built by its citizens. We are the masters of our own destiny. today's events in Ukraine make us ponder on our history, public attitude, values, freedom, responsibility for our decisions, our lives and our surrounding. These events caused people to think, perceive, analyse, and awoke them to long-forgotten human values, such as courage, wisdom, dignity, honesty, mercy, justice, faith, hope and love.

Also brought to their attention is the experience of urban development in other countries throughout the world. With this competition, we venture to convert the maximum amount of energy generated by revolutionary wave into urban ideas. The competition aims to answer the questions that we now ask ourselves:
 

  • What would i like to see my Kiev look like in future?
  • What is Kiev for me, as a city in which I would wish to live?
  • What is the problem we need solve?
  • How can I contribute to improve my city?

In addition to spectacular events held within the framework of the CANactions festival, organized annually each spring, the results of the competition will be spread via publications, exhibitions and other events throughout the entire year.
