The Seventh Ukrainian Urban Forum will take place on September 19–20, 2025, in Lutsk.

“Human Scale” will be the central theme of this year’s event. We will discuss demographic challenges faced by Ukrainian cities today and explore ways to respond to them. We’ll talk how resilient institutions, people-centered urban policies, and accessible infrastructure can foster social development and help overcome inequalities.

Together, we will seek answers to pressing questions: how to mitigate the effects of war and demographic challenges, how to enhance human potential and ensure residents’ access to housing, social protection, employment, and mobility, and how to create urban spaces that strengthen hromadas and support quality leisure.

Registration for the forum and program will be announced soon.

The forum is organized by Cedos with the support of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Ukraine. The main local partner is the Algorytm NGO and Urban Vision Lutsk. The main media partner is the urban platform Mistosite.
