Lviv North is an ambitious Test Planning project exploring the future development of one of the city’s most important areas.
The project is initiated by the City of Lviv (Львівська міська рада )and organised together with the Swiss Network with Ukraine (SNU), in collaboration with the Zürich and Canton of Zurich and local organiser zmist.
Building on our previous experience with Test Planning in the Czech Republic (Hradčanské Rozhraní), we were invited to contribute to the project by supporting the process through workshop moderation (led by Petr Návrat), structuring the workshops, and helping to design participatory activities.
It’s a role we care deeply about — helping create space for dialogue, clarity, and better decisions.
We’re genuinely grateful for the opportunity to be part of this project and to support the development of Ukraine through planning that is open, collaborative, and long-term.
Five international teams — each combining local and global expertise — are currently working on different development scenarios for Lviv North.
Tomorrow, the second workshop begins, where these scenarios will be presented and discussed. We’re looking forward to seeing how the ideas evolve.
