As part of its CPD programme, bridgeUkraine.org will host an online lecture titled “Generative Urban Design in Practice: From Complex-Systems Theory to Performance-Tested Design Options”.
Monday, 2 November 2026
10:00–12:30 UK time | 12:00–14:30 Kyiv time
Online via Microsoft Teams
Delivered by Xuhui L. Lin, Lecturer in Sustainable and Resilient Cities at The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, UCL, the session will demonstrate how generative urban design can help communities rapidly create, test and compare spatial development options.
The lecture will present a practical workflow from planning indices to generated design options using the open-source MetaCityGenerator and browser-based MetaCity Studio. It will also explore how designs can be assessed against resource use, carbon, cost, flooding, wind, solar access, visibility and accessibility.
The session is suitable for urban planners, designers, architects, engineering consultants, municipal officers, sustainability specialists and built-environment researchers. No software installation or parametric-design experience is required.
Participants who register and attend the lecture will receive a CPD certificate of attendance.
