Mariupol 

For the City of Mariupol we have worked since August 2022, with support of USAID, on a city strategy for postwar Ukrainian Mariupol given the expected demographic development: from 250.000 to 500.0000 to 900.000 residents. The goal is to define the strategy about identity, memory, and future, a vision on new residential areas, a new post-industrial economy, new functional zoning plan and a clear vision on ecology and nature.

Zaporizhzha 

For the City of Zaporizhzha Ro3kvit works on a city strategy for postwar Ukrainian Zaporizhzha given the increase of housing needs, related to the many IDP’s in the country and pre-war challenges of center urban development. The issues related to safety in building and city planning are to be addressed as well.

Bucha

For the city of Bucha we have agreements about supervision role for the city development. In this role we do research and design for the future identity of Bucha, and for the general integrated city strategy. Ro3kvit will analyze and give feedback on existing urgent infrastructure and housing plans as well.

Rivne

Rivne is a city close to the Belarus and Polish border, with IDP challenges, safety challenges and energy challenges. Rivne can be an example city for these three topics.For the city of Rivne we make studies on three different scales, starting in autumn 2022. First of all Rivne is related to direct neighbors, in relation to mobility, growth, housing. Second, Rivne as a city, future strategy and identity in an integrated development concept, including participation. And on the scale of neighborhoods or new land plots, idp- housing.

Zaporizhzha Oblast

Zaporizhia Oblast is occupied for 70% and the expectation is that after liberation a lot of mental and physical damage ещl be found. The effect on demographics will be enormous. The Oblast has asked Ro3kvit to help think about the scenarios of rebuilding villages and what it means in terms of mobility, facilities, and services. Also on the scale of Zaporizhia Oblast we will need to rethink the safety strategy for the future, related to the border, the river and the nuclear power plant in Energodar.
