Area of Cooperation: Rebuilding Sustainable Cities

Umeå and Kherson join forces to strategize urban reconstruction amidst the war’s devastation. Prioritizing gender-inclusive urban planning and digitalization, they aim for lasting positive impacts. Their focus includes participatory democracy and citizen engagement, empowering Kherson’s citizens.
