Contesto

Marked by a long tradition of central planning, Ukrainian cities are ill prepared for assuming their new role as centers of development resulting from the government’s policies of decentralization and communal self-government. Municipalities receive their own financing resources and have to deliver public services so far provided by national authorities. The project supports selected Ukrainian cities in meeting this challenge by introducing modern urban planning instruments in line with the Association Agreement signed between Ukraine and the European Union.

Obiettivi

Improve preconditions for implementing urban development at the national level and enable selected cities in designing, applying and implementing integrated urban development processes, including infrastructure investments, to increase their ability to assume their roles of decentralized poles of economic growth and prosperity, in a sustainable climate friendly way.

Effetti a medio termine

Recommendations jointly developed by cities, civil society and national institutions are reflected in draft documents of the national policy framework on urban development

Cities have incorporated the principles of integrated urban development into their management and steering processes

Cities have implemented climate-friendly mobility projects that are derived from their integrated urban development concepts

An intermunicipal learning network on integrated urban development is established
