Integrated Planning — The Key to Recovery

    architecture-math-drawing-stationary
    Integrated Planning and Design
  • About the video: This video explains why integrated planning is a vital necessity for post-war Ukraine. You will find out how to combine transportation, housing, economy, nature, and security into a single urban system, even with limited resources. 

    The large-scale destruction in Ukraine has presented cities with unprecedented challenges. Recovery must go beyond mere reconstruction - it requires integrated urban planning that combines physical, social, economic and environmental factors.
    In the video, architect and urbanist Fulco Treffers emphasizes that urban planning must simultaneously address issues of mobility, housing, security, and economic opportunities while responding to contemporary challenges such as war and climate change. The examples of the Kyiv region and the vision of Mariupol's recovery demonstrate how a strategic approach can balance heritage preservation, development, and sustainability.
    Oleg Drozdov draws attention to the need to coordinate planning at different levels, from regional strategies to local decisions. He places a special emphasis on the problem of outdated Soviet mass housing, which requires deep renovation to meet modern energy efficiency and safety standards.
    Both experts emphasize that Ukraine's successful recovery requires flexible legislation, public engagement, and international cooperation.

Urban Planning in the Context of Demographic Change

    Artboard 22
    Inclusive Design Process
  • About the video: The video explains how the war has changed the structure of Ukraine's population: aging, depopulation, and massive internal and external migration. The example of Mariupol shows how to plan for recovery in the face of uncertainty and why it is important to consider not only numbers, but also social ties that influence the return and integration of people into communities. 

    The war has dramatically changed the demographic landscape of the country: millions of people were forced to leave their homes, the population is aging, and the birth rate is falling. This creates serious economic and social challenges that require responsible solutions today.
    Mass migration is changing communities as internally displaced persons (IDPs) settle in new territories, while many Ukrainians abroad face uncertainty about their return. Economic conditions, security and social stability will play a crucial role in shaping migration patterns. In response, efforts are being made to support the return of refugees and to engage new residents in rebuilding the country.

    Cities must plan for recovery in the face of uncertainty. Scenario planning helps assess future needs for housing, education, jobs, and infrastructure. Projects such as the Mariupol Renaissance illustrate how urban recovery can balance immediate reconstruction with long-term development by integrating infrastructure, economic renewal, and demographic strategies to create livable and resilient cities.

    In addition to economic opportunities, migration is influenced by cultural and social ties. Community life, shared traditions, and the quality of public spaces can facilitate both return and long-term resettlement.
    Ukraine's recovery depends on a strategic approach - a combination of urban planning, economic revitalization and international cooperation to build a sustainable and prosperous future.

How Сultural Heritage Becomes Part of Ukraine's Recovery

    users
    Socio-Cultural Aspects
  • About the video: Rebuilding is not only about destroyed walls, but also about what holds communities together - memories, experiences, and connections. This video discusses how to incorporate heritage into the new reality without deepening trauma. Through community experiences and examples of memory mapping, you will see how cultural markers create a sense of belonging and help restore identity.

    It is important to find a balance between heritage preservation and environmental transformation. We are talking not only about officially recognized monuments, but also about places that are important to the communities themselves. For example, Soviet architecture is a part of the familiar urban landscape for some, while for others it is a symbol of difficult historical stages.
    The challenge is to integrate these different views. In Hirske, the Ro3kvit team is working with the community to map the local identity, including industrial and natural heritage. In Rozdil, the UREHERIT initiative focuses on restoration led by the residents themselves, so that historic sites remain part of the living space.

  • Speakers: Dora Merai, Daryna Pasyuta

    Dora Merai – Art historian, archaeologist, cultural heritage expert; researcher and lecturer at the Central European University, Vienna-Budapest. Specialization: heritage policy and management, memory studies, industrial and urban heritage, adaptive reuse of heritage.

Shared Recovery: How a Community Initiative Shapes Change

    users
    Socio-Cultural Aspects
  • About the video: The war changed social ties, but recovery offers a chance to revive them through joint action. In the video, you will learn how Ukrainian communities are reviving the tradition of community service and common goods in a modern way, from repairing buildings to creating spaces for veterans. This is about a new social infrastructure based on trust, participation, and shared responsibility.

    The war has devastated communities, forcing millions of people to flee their homes and jeopardizing familiar social ties. At the same time, the tradition of collective action known as “toloka” is being revived, forming the basis of initiatives that support community-led recovery. Projects such as CO-HATY offer housing solutions for displaced people, restoring public space through collaborative efforts. Meanwhile, the Veteran's Hut in Makariv creates special spaces for veterans, supporting social reintegration and psychological recovery.

    Both initiatives embody a shared-use approach - where communities take responsibility for the spaces and resources they use. This is the basis for long-term resilience that goes beyond emergency assistance and creates stable, self-sufficient solutions.

    The traditions of mutual assistance, trust and self-governance inherent in Ukrainian communities can become the basis for recovery.

Housing Crisis: Will Reconstruction Solve It?

    Architecture and Housing
  • About the video: The video analyzes the root causes of the housing crisis in Ukraine - from the outdated housing stock to the lack of a social housing system. It discusses why compensation is only a temporary solution and what approaches are needed to create a truly affordable, diverse and sustainable housing system - not only for displaced people or those who have lost their homes, but for everyone living in Ukrainian cities and communities.

    The war has devastated the housing market in Ukraine, driving up prices and leaving many - internally displaced persons, veterans and returning refugees - without stable housing solutions. Given the limitations of market mechanisms (high cost of home ownership, shortage of rental options, almost complete absence of social housing), there is a need to rethink housing policy and build an inclusive, affordable system.
    In this video, we explore key barriers and possible approaches to overcome them, focusing on the following areas:
    ● Current challenges: market situation, limited availability and lack of different housing formats.● International experience: lessons that Ukraine can learn from social housing models in other countries.● The role of local initiatives: how civic initiatives, government support and investment strategies can contribute to the formation of a new housing system.
    Affordable housing is a universal problem. While certain groups have more pressing needs, recovery efforts should create a balanced, sustainable system that benefits all Ukrainians, ensuring long-term stability and growth.

Circular Construction as a Strategy for Ukraine's Recovery

    Green Transformation
  • About the video: How to rebuild cities without harming the environment? This video introduces the circular approach to construction: reusing materials, recycling ruins, and adapting existing buildings. Examples from Ukraine and Europe show how this works in practice - and why it is time to revise building standards in Ukraine.

    Sustainable recovery is becoming critically important, given that 13% of buildings are damaged or destroyed (according to RDNA4). The principles of the circular economy help reduce waste by reusing resources, adapting existing buildings, and recycling construction waste.
    In Kopychyntsi, the community has repurposed 27 empty houses for internally displaced persons, the POVTORNO platform is establishing an exchange of used materials, and the Hostel project by Neo-Eco demonstrates how new structural elements are created from construction waste. Biomaterials such as straw, hemp, and wood are becoming a low-carbon alternative for insulation and construction.

    However, regulatory barriers remain, including current fire safety standards that limit the use of biomaterials in public buildings. Improved waste management policies and support for the local recycling industry can help promote circular construction, helping Ukraine rebuild efficiently, environmentally and with a future-proof mindset.

Participatory Planning and the Role of Residents in Reconstruction

    Artboard 22
    Inclusive Design Process
  • About the video:This video explains why planning is impossible without people's participation. You'll learn what participatory planning means in practice, not just in words, and see examples from Ukraine where the involvement of residents has changed spaces and increased the effectiveness of projects. Participation is a tool not only for democracy but also for a quality environment for residents.

    In a time of radical change, inclusive participation and open dialog become especially important. Ukraine's struggle for freedom, democracy, and civic engagement has increased the need for transparent, open processes in urban planning, governance, and reconstruction. How can participation influence the future of Ukrainian cities and society?
    This video explores:● Formal and informal participation - the need for structured processes and the involvement of the general public.● Historical context and new approaches - lessons from Zaporizhzhia 2030, Urban Forums (UREHERIT) and other participatory projects.● Developing facilitation skills - integrating dialogue and facilitation practices into all levels of professional education to ensure quality citizen participation in recovery processes.
    With a strong civil society and experienced local leaders, Ukraine has the potential for a breakthrough - through the introduction of open, well-organized participation processes. Involving representatives of municipalities that already have successful experience in participatory planning allows for a deeper understanding of real needs and the adaptation of inclusive strategies to the context of specific communities.
    When people are not just informed, but truly heard and involved in the processes, not only the quality of projects improves, but also the quality of life in cities.
