We reviewed each of the 17 thematic categories through the prism of current legislation, city competence, and EU standards.

The Urban Buro team, which collaborates with international urbanists, architects and academia, is involved in the development.
We combined photographic documentation, problem analysis, comparison with European practices, and practical wording for each proposal to make Odesa a modern, comfortable, and safe city for everyone.

Project results
- More than 50 suggestions for improvement in 17 categories in line with international standards
- 17 examples of existing programmes in 12 countries of the world were provided
- The project was submitted for consideration to the Odesa City Council in June 2025

The Legal Aid Centre provided full legal support for the initiative – from the preparation of the document to its submission to the city council

Representatives of the Odesa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture took part in the discussion of the proposals.
