Urban planning legislation, which regulates all aspects of the activities of the various entities involved in the architectural and planning industry, is a very important element in the functioning of any country. All the more so in Ukraine, where market democracy is at the early stage of development and, due to the devastation of the war, a huge construction boom is expected to bring huge investment opportunities and needs. The Ukrainian Parliament announced another urban planning reform in its current term. A detailed analysis shows that many of its provisions are contradictory, unbalanced and biased. Among the large number of regulations concerning the further digitalisation of the architecture and urban planning industry are provisions providing for the actual exclusion of representatives of the large construction business from the act. Facilitating investment by large corporations is the actual purpose of the draft bill. The National Union of Architects of Ukraine not only opposes to such biased changes in legislation, but also proposes a concrete way to deal with the problematic issues. One of them is the development of an Urban Planning Code, which will be based on a public dialogue with the broad participation of the public, the professional community, representatives of local self-government – i.e. all the entities interested in shaping a modern, fully harmonious environment in Ukraine in the deepest sense of the term. The National Union of Architects of Ukraine is ready to act as a professional public platform for such large-scale initiative.
