14th District is a collaborative project implemented within the framework of MitOst’s Tandem Ukraine program, an initiative of the European Cultural Foundation and MitOst e.V.
The project is set in Slavutych - the youngest city in Ukraine, and the last planned city built in the whole Soviet Union.
Initially built to house the population of workers of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station after the explosion, Slavutych mobilized the support from different autonomous governments from the whole Soviet Union. They each provided a masterplan inspired by a different Soviet city: Yerevan, Baku, Leningrad, etc.
We are interested in reflecting on how urban contexts are translated from one city to another. In order to do that, we propose creating a new ‘district’ based on the city of Athens.
The project consists of a spatial intervention in the city of Slavutych done by a group of locals.
