Join us for a special event with Mikael Colville-Andersen, Danish urbanist, speaker, filmmaker, TV host, and photographer. Mikael has been in Ukraine since the start of the full-scale war and has implemented a range of awesome projects here, such as publishing the book “45 Ideas for Ukrainian Cities,” the first Nordic therapy garden in Ukraine, Bikes4Ukraine, TORV Ukraine, and many more. 

The event will feature a screening of “Detroit and Windsor” from The Life-Sized City, Mikael’s global documentary series about urbanism that explores the anatomy and vibrancy of the modern city, highlighting pockets of life-sized goodness and systemic problems in cities around the world. 

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Mikael, where we will talk about urban challenges in different parts of the world, in the US and Ukraine in particular. We will also discuss Mikael’s book “45 Ideas for Ukraine Cities,” the first book about post-war reconstruction in Europe in the 21st century that contains a list of great urban ideas for Ukrainian cities and towns.

When? October 3rd, 6:30 – 8:30 PM. 

We will stream the discussion online on America House Lviv YouTube channel.
