Strategic reconstruction in times of emergency: lessons from Ukraine

Using Ukraine’s reconstruction as example, this panel will examine how societies can rebuild under pressure while advancing sustainability, innovation, and quality. Across Europe and beyond, communities are rebuilding after devastation, whether caused by war or wildfires. The panel will reflect on other post-crisis contexts where rebuilding becomes a form of democratic expression, showing how design and digital tools can help societies move from survival to renewal.
