Reconstruction in Ukraine involves the rebuilding of physical, economic and social infrastructure including bombed-out cities and towns. It implies first and foremost providing a place to live for 8 million refugees and 6 million internally displaced people. However, it goes beyond rehabilitating housing blocks from the Stalin era; it is about building new communities.
"Building back better" presents an opportunity to promote better governance, combat corruption, strengthen decentralization, social inclusion, and participation. Organizing new cities, institutions, and communities also involves implementing lessons learned from the pandemic. Importantly, it means promoting green urban development within a climate adaptation framework and strengthening the rights of marginalized and excluded groups.
To reduce future dependence on foreign aid, it is crucial for Ukraine to own planning and implementation processes.
The organizers Habitat Norway and Tekna Samfunnsutviklerne, underscoring the importance of understanding the contexts and conditions of reconstruction, welcome you to this seminar.
