Located on Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Street, the location was created as a platform for active interaction between citizens, implementation of socially important initiatives, and development of urban communities. The space was designed taking into account the needs of residents and will operate in the spring-autumn period.
The name "Place Manufactory" embodies the very essence of this space. Here, people craft their place through ideas, actions and care. And the place, in turn, influences people — through atmosphere, opportunities and the power of community
The impetus for the creation of "Place Manufactory" was the first comprehensive urban study of Lutsk - Urban Vision Lutsk. According to its results, the city needs to develop high-quality public spaces and places for communication and community development.
How to use the space?
"Place Manufactory" is open to all comers. People from Lutsk can come here to relax with friends or play board games, as well as implement their ideas and plan events here. To organize an event, just join the project's Telegram channel, familiarize yourself with the rules of the space, choose a free date on the calendar, coordinate the details with the manager and book the location.
At the presentation of the space, the team held a workshop where they planned the first events together with the people of Lutsk. The first events will start here on July 20. The organizers called for continuing communication in the "Place Manufactory" chat — there you can share ideas, get to know each other, communicate and share impressions. (You can go to the chat via the channel).
Temporariness as an advantage
The space is designed for one or two seasons. Over time, the modules can “move” to other areas of Lutsk or to completely different cities. Depending on people’s requests and content, the concept and name may also change. This way, the team will be able to check which areas need attention and whether communities are ready to actively use public space.
In addition, the project team adheres to the principles of open design and is ready to share the modules drawings with those who want to implement a similar initiative in their locality.
For reference: the Urban Vision Lutsk program is a strategic initiative aimed at transforming the urban environment of Lutsk. The program initiates research and concept development, engages in outreach and urban education, implements infrastructure projects, and supports partner urban initiatives. It is implemented by the "Algorythm" NGO.
