Ukraine has taken a significant step toward modernizing its urban planning regulations by publishing the first version of its draft Urban Planning Code. The initiative, announced on the project’s official webpage, invites the public to contribute their feedback on the proposed framework until October 1. This move is part of broader efforts to align the country’s development policies with international standards and address the challenges of rapid urbanization.
According to officials, the draft code aims to streamline the approval process for urban projects, enhance transparency in land use regulations, and promote sustainable development practices. The public consultation period is expected to gather diverse perspectives, ensuring that the final code reflects the needs of both urban planners and local communities. While the exact details of the proposed changes remain under review, the initiative underscores Ukraine’s commitment to fostering structured and efficient urban growth.
