Future City Game

For the first time in Ukraine the British Council organized the Future City Game, a project running in 15 countries including: Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine and finally Russia.

Future City Game was a two-day event during which inhabitants of your town — from different backgrounds and representing different disciplines and outlooks — assemble with one common aim: generating the best ideas of how to improve the quality of life in Lviv. Encouraging creative thinking, energetically addressing the challenges facing your city, seeing your city in the context of common issues facing cities like yours from around the world, and finally making peoples’ lives better… this is what Future City Game is all about.

The Game was a competition to identify the best possible ideas addressing long-term challenges facing your city. After presenting your initial ideas, you will then test them in real life by meeting with local community members, experienced practitioners, and city administration. Your idea could be anything — a policy, service, product, building or behaviour — but it must be innovative, forward-thinking, relevant to the local community, and finally, achievable and sustainable.
