About

A coalition of over 80 professionals from Ukraine and beyond who united their efforts to develop knowledge and methodologies for rebuilding Ukraine’s urban and rural environment and infrastructure.
The NGO is founded in 2022 in response to the massive destruction caused by Russian military aggression.
Through design and research, we address urgent needs raised by stakeholders now and connect this to future strategies. Fuelled by studies on other (postwar) countries, we are developing new, future oriented urban design methods, co-creative organisation and sustainable development.
Ro3kvit is a Ukrainian-based project with a foreign support. All experts have experience in developing projects in Ukraine or in a post-conflict planning. At least 50% of the team members are Ukrainian experts. Among them are researchers, designers, policy advisors, educators.
