Aim of the study:This article analyzes European experience to identify best practices relevant to Ukraine in spatial planning. It examines the current state of spatial planning and urban planning documentation in Ukraine, emphasizing the transition from centralized policies to modern, integrated, and strategic approaches. The study explores pathways for community development, focusing on areas affected by destruction and those addressing challenges from the relocation of internally displaced persons and businesses. It highlights the need for rational spatial planning to balance settlements and workplaces, ensure stable urban mobility, and promote inclusivity, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
Using the example of the Tarashcha community in the Bila Tserkva district of Kyiv region, the essence of the Comprehensive Community Restoration Program is illustrated, along with its steps and benefits. This program significantly simplifies and accelerates the process of approving a comprehensive spatial development plan.
Material and methods:The theoretical basis consists of the scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of spatial planning, legislative and regulatory acts, methodological and instructional materials, statistical and analytical data of ministries and departments of Ukraine, public organizations regarding issues of spatial planning of territorial development. The main methods are monographic analysis, synthesis method, structural-logical method and systemic approach. The research methodology is based on the main principles: the general dialectical principle of general connection and interaction; the principle of causality, which is connected with the principles of general connection and development; principles of systematicity in cognition.
Results and conclusions:At the current stage of development in Ukraine there is an urgent need for a timely transition to complex spatial planning, which will contribute to the realization of the goals of sustainable development, the elimination of the problems of inconsistency of urban planning, land management and strategic documents, and the improvement of the quality of urban planning decisions.
