Request for Proposals (RFP) for Implementing Partner(s) to develop an Urban Planning Code Concept and advance the urban reform in Ukraine
Deadline: 1 April 2025
Introduction
Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the built environment and critical infrastructure in Ukraine have been severely impacted also causing large humanitarian concerns for millions of civilians, including internally displaced persons and refugees.
A sustainable reconstruction of Ukraine calls for the introduction of a systemic shift in the recovery planning and design of cities, towns and neighbourhoods in Ukraine, while also embedding measures to build capacity within the built environment professions, including urban planning. The project aims at facilitating this shift at national level by advancing the urban reform in Ukraine so as to ensure a comprehensive, transparent and people-centred approach to urban development.
Main activities to be carried out during this Assignment
Under the general supervision of UN-Habitat, the selected Implementing Partner will be responsible for drafting an Urban Planning Code Concept that will address both current war-related challenges and long-term urban development goals.
The Concept will build upon the work so far conducted by the Working Group on the Development of the Urban Planning Code of Ukraine, established by a decision of the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on State Power, Local Self-Government, Regional Development, and Urban Planning in April 2023.
This initiative includes two components:
(1) The development of the Urban Planning Code Concept; and
(2) The promotion of the Urban Planning Code Concept among key stakeholders to facilitate consultations and feedback mechanisms.
Overall timeframe
The work outlined in this RFP is scheduled to commence in April 2025 and be completed within June 2025.
