The event-discussion on the topic of “recovery” dated May 7, 2024.

7 of May, 2024, following the presentation of the project “Adaptation of a residential quarter in the central part of the city of Izyum, bounded by the streets of Heroes of Chernobyl, Pokrovska, and Donets-Zaharzhevsky, for climatic, social, and cultural changes,” its discussion took place.
The questions proposed revolved around social changes and engaging local communities in the recovery processes. LLC “ACC” “PORTAL-21” reported on the measures already taken to improve communication.
The second question concerned the involvement of investors in the project implementation. The primary task in this direction is to create conditions that promote the visibility of the project. Exactly for this purpose, presentations are made, all events are published on social media platforms, and the IZYUM_recovery website has been created. https://www.izyumrecovery.com.ua/
Additionally, we are pinning our hopes on an international economic conference scheduled to take place in Berlin in June of this year, where the project leader, Anastasiia Gulak, has been invited.

Cultural events and initiatives within the project aimed at increasing community awareness in the fields of new technologies, Ukrainian history, the history of the city of Izyum, and the rights of its residents were also discussed.
The discussion also addressed questions regarding the psychological recovery of individuals who have experienced military aggression and occupation. The project proposes measures aimed at improving the well-being of the residents.

The final question in the discussion event was about promoting the sustainable development of the project. The architects from LLC “ACC” “PORTAL-21” explained to those present that before creating the concept, they familiarized themselves with the general plan of the city of Izyum, changes to which were made by the State Enterprise “UDDNIPM.” U. М. Bilokonia” is a project by the French architect Martin Duplantier Architectes in collaboration with architects from Lviv to ensure the sustainable development of the project, the proposals and developments from these two works were utilized and further developed in the project “Adaptation of a residential district in the central part of the city of Izyum,” developed by LLC “ACC” PORTAL-21.”
It was very interesting to hear, of course, the opinions of representatives from the community of the district, as the project is being created primarily for them.
It’s entirely natural that people who have lost their homes or are living in damaged conditions primarily seek to see immediate measures aimed at improving their living conditions right now. They say that they liked the project, but it feels like a dream that currently seems unattainable to them. They were explained that while we understand their concerns, attracting investors, even for immediate measures, is impossible without a project that interests them with the provided vision of the future development of the district in the city center.
Deputy Head of the Military Administration of the city of Izyum, Mykhailo Oleksandrovych Ishchuk, provided a positive feedback regarding the project. He thanked the creative team and expressed hope for further fruitful cooperation. He also assured the designers of support for the sustainable development of the project.
Questions were also asked by architects, ecologists, and other experts who were present at the presentation.
Overall, the “Discussion” event was productive, both for the community of the city of Izyum and for the designers, as communication with residents and the city administration is a top priority for improving social connections.
We are very grateful to everyone who participated in the “Project Discussion” event, which took place in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for all parties involved. The participation of the team from the well-known Kharkiv café “Kristal” also contributed to this, as they organized a coffee break after the presentation and discussion. The sandwiches and snacks were excellent, and the service was also very professional and high-quality. Thank You
