There are dramatic changes taking place as authorities take the opportunity offered while repairing damage caused by war to make their cities more “user friendly.”

The war has brought dramatic change to many Ukrainian cities, but it is not only about destruction and damage that affects everyone’s lives. As civil authorities set about the task of repairing and rebuilding the damage inflicted by Russian attacks, many are replacing their former Soviet-era layouts with modern and innovative designs.
Strikes on old, large, consolidated energy systems have given way to modern and decentralized small-generation facilities, accompanied by an acceleration in the process of improving insulation and energy efficiency in buildings and infrastructure that began in 2015. Schools or administrative buildings undergoing repair in the city of Zhytomyr, for instance, receive high levels of insulation and with multiple-glazed windows leading to greatly reduced heating costs.
