The devastation caused by the conflict in Ukraine has severely affected cities like Kharkiv and Mykolaiv.

This StoryMap explores the plans and progress in rebuilding these cities, highlighting both ongoing advancements and future projections.project

Ukraine's reconstruction is not a solitary effort. Numerous international organisations and countries have joined forces to aid in the recovery. The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and other global bodies have provided critical support for rebuilding efforts, particularly in terms of financial aid, technical expertise, and sustainable urban planning.

Despite the destruction, Kharkiv has become a symbol of resilience. The city's reconstruction plans are designed not only to restore what was lost but also to create a modern, sustainable urban environment. The city’s recovery initiatives focus on rebuilding key infrastructure, restoring damaged historical sites, and creating green public spaces. Efforts are also being made to ensure that new buildings are resilient to future threats, incorporating modern technology and sustainable materials.

We are forming a new vision of the city, what it will look like after the war.

Mykolaiv, another severely impacted city, is undergoing an ambitious transformation through a comprehensive masterplan designed in collaboration with international architects and urban planners. The masterplan focuses on rebuilding the city in a way that promotes sustainability and resilience. Key aspects include the creation of new residential zones, green areas, and the reconstruction of essential infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, and public buildings.

A unique opportunity for rebirth for all of Ukraine. A model of reconstruction and modernisation of reference for the whole country at the end of the conflict.
