Mariupol Reborn: rebuilding the city together

The beautiful Ukrainian city of Mariupol is in ruins but the city is already working on plans to revive its fortunes once the fighting stops. Deputy mayor Sergiy Orlov will be at Expo Real to talk about the humanitarian effort and to present Mariupol Reborn, a major programme to revive Mariupol once it is back in Ukrainian hands.

Ukraine’s international partners, European cities and large Ukrainian businesses, together with Mariupol City Council, have joined forces to plan the regeneration of the city after the liberation using best practices and the latest technologies.

The EBRD, the USAID “Economic Support for Ukraine” project, the cities of Utrecht, Vilnius, Gdansk and Lviv, Ukrainian businessman Rinat Akhmetov, and an international community of urbanists and architects have already joined Mariupol Reborn. The project is open to new partners who want to help bring Ukrainian Mariupol back to life.

Join this workshop if you want to know more or if you want to help Mariupol.
