Блискуче есе Олександра Анісімова на e-flux про потребу переосмислення планування, планувальної освіти та виклики, що стоять перед нами на шляху справедливої відбудови. Мені також страшенно подобається фото з обкладинки, де здається, що ніби зараз все перевернеться.
In Ukraine, housing is all too often equated to construction; planning is reduced to the production of a masterplan; and institutions, operating modes, and social processes are limited to the written law. Urban planners, designers, managers, and practitioners in Ukraine largely lack conceptual apparatuses to grasp the politically contested division of responsibility between the state and market in urban development as well as socio-economic relations (e.g., stratification, inequality, access to public goods) in cities.
Discourse today is filled with numbers and answers, but not with values, operational systems, and organizational structures to fill the gap of capacity to recover, both in communities and on the state level. There is also a lack of understanding (or the desire to stay out) of twenty-first-century climatic, energy, sociocultural and economic challenges. As the issue of recovery requires a multi-dimensional approach, experts with synthetic knowledge such as spatial planners should be in charge of organizing various streams of data, needs, and future visions. However, they are nowhere to be seen.

But what is important is that most if not all are either poorly understood or completely neglected in education. This, in turn, leads to the reification of simplistic notions and ideas about the nature of cities and endangers that the oft-repeated phrase “building back better” will remain an empty signifier. There is great risk that recovery will fail to consider quality of life, socio-spatial justice, and ecological footprint. Thus, a massive and rapid change is needed. An integrated and systemic approach to spatial planning would reshape the professional field and develop a new generation in an ecosystem of practice that encompasses processes of planning and contracting, higher education and professional associations, and national frameworks and guidelines. The need to reform, therefore, is threefold: new educational programs, new planning institutions, and new demands for quality planning.
We must be willing to stand up to the challenge, and take the risk, for the future of Ukrainian cities and communities is at stake.
