Norman Foster Foundation and Arup Deliver Kharkiv Reconstruction Masterplan
Norman Foster Foundation and Arup office in Berlin schemed a master plan for Kharkiv, Ukraine, to guide future urban regulations and prepare professionals and industries for the city's reconstruction. The initiative follows a request from the Kharkiv Mayor to Foster through the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, weeks after the Ukraine War started in February 2022. In collaboration with a local advisory board, the outline has led to the definition of the masterplan approach developed through five pilot projects, including heritage, infrastructure, and rivers.
