In May this year once again a large-scale architectural event is organized: International Festival CANactions.

An important part of the festival is the workshop, where architects, urban planners, economists, sociologists and anyone interested in the phenomenon of the city can participate. This year theme of the workshop is Telycka, a post-industrial area near down town of Kyiv.

We spoke to the curator of workshop, the Dutch architect and urbanist Theo Hauben. What is the potential he sees in Kiev? How will the city will change in the future? What are the core values of new urban developments?
