Current Issue
This publication is the outcome of the project that took place in 2021-2022 in Kyiv. It focuses on the still underexplored issues of architecture and urban planning of the 1980s.
It was during this period that the processes that affect urban realities of modern/ist cities and will determine them in the coming years were formed: the humanization of urban planning, 'postmodernization' of architectural forms, regulation of historical zones, and the plurality of actors who entered the scene of urban planning.
We open this topic to Ukrainian readers and share with the international community the experiences of Kyiv, Lviv, and various countries of the Socialist Bloc.
