My City – My View’ Is a Collection of Photos by Young Photographers from Across the EUROCITIES Network my city my view young photographers celebrating 25 years of EUROCITIES Paul Bevan Secretary General EUROCITIES photo competition In celebration of its 25th anniversary, EUROCITIES asked its members to provide a photo - taken by a young person between the ages of 15 and 25 - which represents their city. Cities could choose how best to select this photo, with some launching competitions or taking advantage of social media to reach young photographers. The criteria for competition entries were that they must be taken by a photographer between the ages of 15 and 25, and that they must illustrate ‘people and place’ in line with the EUROCITIES 2011Genoa conference theme, with some suggested themes such as wealth and poverty, planning for the future, transformation processes and liveable neighbourhoods. The chosen photos were then submitted, with three winners picked by an independent jury. All young photographers were invited to Genoa to exhibit their photos. We also received some entries which, although printed in this book, were not eligible for the competition, some because their photographer was outside the age bracket, or because they were submitted after the deadline. m y c i t y m i j n s t a d m a v i l l e m i c i u d a d mojeměsto m y v i e w We would like to thank the following cities for their generous contributions towards our EUROCITIES 25 years special activities: GRAND LYON NANTES METROPOLE ROTTERDAM THE HAGUE WARSAW FOREWORD Frank Jensen Lord Mayor of Copenhagen President of EUROCITIES ‘My city – my view’ is a collection of photos by young photographers from across the EUROCITIES network. To celebrate 25 years of EUROCITIES, members were asked to select one photo which best represents their city, taken by a young person aged 15 to 25. They embraced the concept, with many launching calls for entries using competitions and social media. With the title in mind, we were looking for images which show the people and the places that make up our cities. In these pages you will find the inspiring contributions we have received from young photographers across Europe. It is these young people who will shape the future of our cities, bringing with them new skills, perspectives and ideas. It is therefore essential that we nurture and encourage this talent, and this photo book is an excellent example of showcasing their potential. This book also offers a unique insight into city life across our network: the people and the places that make Europe what it is today. I encourage you to take the time to enjoy this book, read the stories behind the photos and reflect on what the next 25 years might have in store for Europe’s cities, with these young people paving the way. 4 Anna Drozd specialises in Michael Chia is a freelance Caroline Van Kerckhoven is social, employment and commercial and art a youth worker at D’BROEJ, education policy in EUROCITIES. photographer.

The idea was to produce ten creative photographs of their hometown. This seemed like an interesting challenge, but they had no idea how much of a challenge it would be. They brainstormed ideas, but couldn’t brainstorm their way around the fact that it was snowing and freezing that day. Ustanička Street is one of the most peculiar streets in Banja Luka. Every house has a story to tell. People usually have huge, uninviting garage doors designed to keep everyone at bay, but these bright blue doors with an improvised post box were just the opposite. They conveyed the owner’s sense of humour and stood out for their uniqueness. Our busy day-to-day lives can make us blind to the most wonderful things around us. Even in the tiniest streets far from the bustling city centre one can discover small hidden treasures. 7 8 WINNER Antigoni Metaxaki 25 years HERAKLION Greece Anticipation While walking the streets of Heraklion one sunny morning I caught sight of this little girl. She was sitting on the ground at the Morozini Square playing her accordion, waiting for passersby to reward her with a coin. Her eyes are fixed on the woman’s bag and clothes. Though it is not an unusual sight nowadays, what touched me more was the desperate expression on her face, reflecting the poverty and abandonment, not only of this specific girl, but of helpless and innocent girls around the world being exploited by grown-ups. Will it ever be possible to eliminate the gap between poverty and wealth? Will the world ever be fairer? 9 10 WINNER Srdjan Srdjanov 24 years NOVI SAD Serbia Forever Young This photo was taken during this year’s ‘third photomarathon’ in Novi Sad. This event attracts photographers from all over the country trying to capture the essence of our city. I noticed these three senior ladies leaving a retirement club and getting into a vintage car. Since there were photographers all over the town and everybody knew about the event, these ladies were nice enough to let me take a photo of them. Novi Sad is a city of young people. We have a big university campus with nearly 40,000 students. In an environment like this it is easy to preserve a young spirit that will stay with you throughout your whole life. 11 AARHUS Denmark Sara S. and Alaa E. play football in the schoolyard at Lykkeskolen in Aarhus, Denmark. Lykkeskolen is an independent school with a focus on the study of the Qur’an and the Arabic language. The girls in the seventh grade class at the school are facing a decision in their lives that is very important to their religion. Around the age of 14 and 15, young Muslim women typically are faced with the decision of whether or not to take the hijab, the Muslim veil of modesty. Most of the girls in the seventh grade class at Lykkeskolen have already taken the veil, though some are still making the decision. However, all express excitement Katie Currid at the chance to take the hijab, as they see it as a symbol of 21 years Islam and also a sign of maturity. 12 AMSTERDAM Netherlands This spot means a lot to me because it radiates peace and Roxanne Spaans quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. If I 18 years didn’t know Amsterdam and I saw this photo, I would want to stay here forever. 13 ANTWERP Belgium The picture was taken by a young photographer from Stampmedia. Stampmedia is a youth press agency based in Antwerp. All their articles and pictures are written and taken by young volunteers. The photo was taken at Park Middenvijver, in Antwerp at a kite festival that was organised in partnership with different actors from the local community: the cultural centre, the Afghan community, schools, etc. The activity was part of the programme of Antwerp European Youth Capital Vincent Buyssens 2011. We chose the photo because it shows the beauty of 21 years multicultural and sectoral crossover and cooperation. 14 Joy in the Castell BARCELONA ‘Castells’, or human towers, are part of the culture of Catalonia. Spain Declared ‘intangible cultural heritage’ by UNESCO in 2010, the castells are human towers that are very beautiful as well as being technically demanding. The human towers require effort and solidarity: the youngest ‘castellers’ climb up to the top of the tower while the strongest ones support the base. The photograph shows, close up, the delight of Petra Rechach i Torrens, a member of the ‘Colla dels Castellers de Sants’ (the Human Tower Association of the neighbourhood of Sants). In the background you can see how the tower is being successfully dismantled. The photograph was taken during La Mercè, a major festival in Barcelona, in the main Sant Jaume Jorge Dourado square.

  • Objects of Landscape Architecture in Formation of City Morphology
    ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES Vol. 2, No. 2, 2016 Yuliya Idak, Iryna Rusanova OBJECTS OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE IN FORMATION OF CITY MORPHOLOGY Lviv Polytechnic National University 12, S. Bandery str., Lviv, 79013, Ukraine, [email protected] Received: November 23, 2016 Revised: January 27, 2017/ Accepted: March 9, 2017 © Idak Y., Rusanowa I., 2016 Abstract. The article describes urban development of Lviv in the historical context examining the place and the role of garden design objects and landscape architecture. The famous Austrian scientist and City Gardener of Lviv Arnold Rӧhring was involved in the development of urban space of Lviv at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries, namely the Kilinski Park (the present Stryiskyi park), Hetmanski Valy, Zalizna Voda park, etc. Key words: Lviv, A. Rӧhring, landscape architecture, urban space, city morphology 1. Introduction A functionally unjustified use of valuable natural areas, an appropriate adaptation of landscape architecture to modern needs, a lack of comprehensive scientific architecture and organization of urban planning may, eventually, lead to the damage of the city historical environment and the loss of the initial appearance of the existing city facilities. In the past the process of creation of any architectural object presupposed existence of a system. The system formed an image. It led to the consolidation of the city, the development of branch planning structure, etc. When creating a new environment, its authors were guided by various stylistic directions, subjective opinions about the meaning of gardens design and landscape architecture. In turn, it affected morphological features of the city. In the 90’s – 2000’s the study of the city history intensified greatly.

    qr. 2. 2018 no. 5 ISSN 2543-9839 SZCZECIN, POLAND, JUNE 16, 2018. The unveiling of The monumenT of lech KaczyńsKi, PRESIDENT OF POLAND (2005–2010). © Łukasz Szełemej Editorial Dear Readers, ven though it seemed that mercenary armies would lose their raison d'être after creating nation states and organizing their armed forces in the form of national armies, the reality has turned out to be quite different. EWe have entered the era of hybrid warfare, based on the skillful strategic combination of several methods of aggression (such as traditional, irregular, terroristic and cybernetic) in various areas of action. They include military activities (typically warfare, but also comprising irregular forces or even guerrilla ones, acts of terrorism or artificially induced uprisings) and propaganda (conducted both domestically and internationally). Not only has the profession of mercenary survived but, since the 1990s, it has also been experiencing a renaissance on an unprecedented scale and it is now functioning in the form of privately-owned corporations with the most modern equipment provided by power brokers of a given state. The greatest advantage of the troops is the fact that atrocities and crimes committed by mercenaries are never charged to the responsibility of the intervening state. Moreover, after the death of their soldiers, the number is not even included in any official statistics. Thus, the mercenaries turned out to be an extremely comfortable option as they carry out activities that would not befit nation states. It was no different with Blackwater in Baghdad in the past; today, it is rather the Wagner Group, whose fighters currently operate in Syria.

  • CHANGES in MARKET SQUARES of HISTORICAL CITIES and TOWNS of UKRAINE in the 20Th CENTURY
    CHANGES IN MARKET SQUARES OF HISTORICAL CITIES AND TOWNS OF UKRAINE IN THE 20th CENTURY Oleh Rybchynskyi National University “Lviv Polytechnic”, Lviv, Ukraine Market square of a city or town is a spatial frame where the notion of lower middle class was formed and in which memorial events took place. Due to the tragic events of the 20th century – the First and Second World Wars, Holodomor (famine) and Holocaust, emigration and moving of peoples, destructions and distortions of town space – market squares have become a certain mythological construct. After the damages of the First World War the market squares were restored and were actively functioning. In the second half of the 20th century, most market squares were completely destroyed. Distortions of the market squares resulted in the disappearance of urban patriotism and deformation of town resident’s identity. Keywords: market squares, historical town, spatial symbol, architectural monument, town resident’s identity. ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ РЫНОЧНЫХ ПЛОЩАДЕЙ ИСТОРИЧЕСКИХ ГОРОДОВ УКРАИНЫ В ХХ ВЕКЕ О. В. Рыбчинский Национальный университет «Львовская Политехника», Львов, Украина Рыночная площадь города или городка является пространственной рамой, в которой формировалось понятие мещанства, происходили па- мятные события и мероприятия. Вследствие трагических событий ХХ века – двух мировых войн, голодоморов и холокоста, эмиграции и пере- селения народов, разрушений и искажений местечкового пространства – рыночные площади стали определённым мифологическим конструктом. После разрушений Первой мировой войны рыночные площади были восстановлены и продолжали активно функционировать. Во второй по- ловине ХХ века большая часть рыночных площадей была окончательно разрушена. Искажение рыночных площадей привело, в частности, к ис- чезновению городского патриотизма и деформации идентичности меща- нина. Ключевые слова: рыночные площади, исторический город, простран- ственный символ, памятник архитектуры, городская идентичность.
