​Participation in the Dialogue Platform “City on (the) Line”

8 March 2025 року

On March 8, 2025, Professor Sergiy Posokhov participated in the discussion “Myths of the City and Its Inhabitants,” held as part of the Dialogue Platform “City on (the) Line.”

Borys Filonenko also took part in the discussion, which was moderated by Artem Kharchenko.

During the conversation, participants examined several key questions: How do perceptions of the city influence its development, particularly in the case of Kharkiv? Can myths be deconstructed, and what does the community gain in return? Do myths have the power to shape the city’s future? How can we assess whether a particular myth is harmful or beneficial? Can myths from different communities coexist within the urban space? What does the future hold for Kharkiv in a landscape of “reinforced concrete”?
