Core offering

Ro3kvit develops and disseminates knowledge, methodologies, and strategic planning frameworks for rebuilding Ukraine's urban and rural areas following the Russian invasion. Its core offerings include strategic city reconstruction plans (e.g., Mariupol, Kremenchuk, Zaporizhzhia), integrated territorial visions (e.g., Dnipro River Integrated Vision), practical handbooks for urban planning participation, capacity-building programs for municipal officials, and pilot projects such as bio-based thermal renovation. Deliverables are produced through grant-funded research and design work led by a coalition of 100+ Ukrainian and international professionals.

Product overview

Ro3kvit: Urban Coalition for Ukraine is a coalition of over 100 professionals from Ukraine and beyond united to create knowledge and methodologies for rebuilding Ukraine's urban and rural areas. The organization's offerings consist primarily of strategic planning documents, research publications, educational programs, and capacity-building initiatives rather than a software product or platform. Key products include: the Dnipro River Integrated Vision (comprehensive river planning strategy), Mariupol City Strategy (postwar reconstruction plan), the Participation Handbook of Urban Planning (community engagement guide), the Directory of Spatial Development Organizations (service provider directory), the Knowledge Space online platform (educational resource library), and the TEPLO bio-based renovation project. The coalition also delivers capacity-building programs including Rethinking Cities 2.0 and Fundamentals of Urbanism for Recovery, along with strategic planning documents for Kremenchuk, Zaporizhzhia, and other municipalities.

Emerging players

• Urbact: European Territorial Cooperation program enabling cities to work together on integrated urban development. Comparable as a peer program that builds city-to-city capacity and integrated action plans, intersecting Ro3kvit on the SUN4Ukraine climate-neutrality pairing of Ukrainian and EU cities.

Direct peers

• UN-Habitat: UN agency focused on sustainable urban development and human settlements. Directly comparable to Ro3kvit because it is also a core strategic partner and operates in Ukraine recovery through neighborhood development, capacity building, and the Knowledge Space platform, addressing the same municipal and humanitarian urban planning challenges.
• American Planning Association – International (URAG): International division of the American Planning Association, including the Ukraine Rebuilding Action Group. Co-developer of Ro3kvit's Public Participation Handbook and comparable as a peer professional association delivering urban planning frameworks, training, and standards to Ukraine's municipalities.
• New Housing Policy Ukraine: Ukrainian policy initiative focused on housing reform and post-war reconstruction. Partner of Ro3kvit and highly comparable given shared focus on housing policy, IDP/veteran housing, and building the institutional framework for Ukraine's residential recovery.

Broad incumbents

• C40 Cities: Global network of mayors addressing climate change. Comparable through its city-level climate and regeneration programming, paralleling Ro3kvit's climate-proof urban strategies (e.g., Kremenchuk) and capacity-building offerings for municipal leadership.
• Resilient Cities Network: Global network of cities focused on urban resilience. Comparable because it pursues similar city-level resilience and climate adaptation agendas, offers capacity-building programs for municipal staff, and competes for the same donor attention in conflict-affected urban contexts.
• GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit): German federal development agency implementing large-scale international cooperation programs. Comparable because it is both a major Ro3kvit funder and a direct delivery body for urban recovery (EU4ClimateResilience, JGURA), competing for the same municipal mandates in Ukraine.
• Architects' Council of Europe (ACE/CAE): European umbrella organization for the architectural profession. Listed as a Ro3kvit partner and comparable as a pan-European body that convenes architects, sets policy frameworks, and engages in post-war and cross-border built-environment initiatives.
• USAID: US government international development agency. Directly relevant as Ro3kvit's funder for the Mariupol city strategy and Economic Resilience Activity; comparable because USAID also commissions and delivers its own urban recovery programs, often via prime contractors competing for the same municipal work.

Regional players

• CEDOS: Ukrainian think tank working on social policy, education, and urban issues. Listed as a Ro3kvit partner and directly comparable as a Ukrainian-based analytical organization producing research and policy recommendations on spatial development and community recovery.
