After 16 months of intensive work with Ukraine, the ARTUR project has brought the team of Digital City Science at HafenCity University Hamburg one step closer to drafting resilience-oriented strategies for urban development. February 2025 marked the closure of the exciting project in cooperation with the GIZ and Ukrainian cities, focused on devising innovative approaches towards the recovery of Ukraine via resilience-oriented measures.
At the end of February, the Chair of Digital City Science (DCS) at the HafenCity University (HCU) Hamburg hosted the Online Closure event for their ARTUR project, short for Approaches towards Urban Resilience in Ukraine - Models, Methods and Tools to Strengthen Urban Resilience.
After a runtime of 16 months, the cooperation project concluded with insightful outcomes. The event brought together the research team from DCS, coordination partners from the GIZ-DE and GIZ-UA, representatives of the two cooperating cities (Kryvyi Rih and Nikopol), as well as local experts involved in the strategic development of Ukraine. A productive exchange highlighted the usefulness of resilience-oriented instruments in the region and identified common interest of all sides in developing such tools.
The local piloting experience in collaboration with the Kryvyi Rih and Nikopol authorities showed the positive impact that this innovative framework and interactive concept tool can bring to cities for their recovery and long-term development, when further implemented.
ARTUR was carried out within the framework of the project "Strengthening Urban Resilience in the Areas of Supply Infrastructure and Housing in Ukraine (SUR)" which is a part of the German transitional development assistance, commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
