Ukrainian delegation studies Japan's experience in urban reconstruction, including Hiroshima
A Ukrainian delegation took part in an experience-sharing program on "Comprehensive Urban Recovery and Transformation" in Japan, the press service of the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development said.
"It was important for us not only to share our own developments and already implemented solutions, but also to study Japan’s experience and international practices more closely. This concerns specific approaches to comprehensive urban recovery based on the principle of ‘build back better.’ Such events reinforce the reforms already being implemented in Ukraine, as they provide access to proven practical solutions," Deputy Minister Natalia Kozlovska said during the visit.
During meetings with World Bank partners and Japanese specialists, participants discussed practical solutions for comprehensive urban recovery, according to the report.
"The Ukrainian side also studied the experience of rebuilding Hiroshima. The practical part was supplemented by a visit to the Motomachi district, where participants saw how the area had gone from post-war barracks to modern social housing," the statement said.
