My collaboration with the platform Būves Nākotnei begins with an introductory interview in Rīga’s oldest microrayon - Āgenskalna Priedes, which you can watch here. We discuss the history of microrayons, issues they face, differences and similarities between microrayons and post-war brutalist housing in Western Europe and how to motivate the residents to take action.

But that is only the beginning! I will be hosting a series of webinars all about microrayons on their platform starting January 30th 2025 and I hope you can join me! More information is coming soon!
