Supporting resilient cities and reconstruction in Ukraine

Context

In view of the Russian war of aggression and the destruction of housing and supply infrastructure, Ukrainian municipalities are currently unable to provide basic services to the population. Furthermore, cities are unable to implement sufficiently integrated urban planning and resilient reconstruction.

Objective

Municipal services and resilience have improved in selected Ukrainian cities.

Approach

The project restores or creates basic municipal infrastructure. In addition to critical infrastructure, this includes social facilities for women and vulnerable groups as well as private housing in selected Ukrainian cities.

Together with the partner cities, the project is developing resilient, integrated solutions to develop cities and a system for dealing with disaster risks. It is also improving municipal capacities through training and the introduction of digital systems for recording war-related damage and the cadastral system. This enables integrated planning in cities.

Cooperation partners of the project are:

• the HafenCity University Hamburg
• the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU)
• Ro3kvit
• Open Contracting Partnership/DREAM platform
• the Luxembourg Red Cross
• the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv
