Ukrainian cities today operate in a dual logic: they respond to the consequences of the war and at the same time make up for decades of postponed decisions in urban development. Most spaces are still formed according to an outdated car-centric model - an excess of hard surfaces, parking "to the door", a shortage of shade and natural infrastructure. Such a structure is vulnerable to climate change and does not create conditions for comfortable living.
