- Abstract
- Recurring natural and man-made disasters are resulting in an increasing number of displaced people who need to be provided with urgent accommodation. Due to insufficient legal regulations and effective construction methods, refugees are often located in conditions defined as ‘temporary’, offering low quality of living conditions, degrading social environment and destructive impact on the city landscape. However the duration of their accommodation often proves to be much longer than assumed initially.

Due to insufficient legal regulations and effective construction methods, refugees are often located in conditions defined as ‘temporary’, offering low quality of living conditions, degrading social environment and destructive impact on the city landscape. However the duration of their accommodation often proves to be much longer than assumed initially.
On the other hand, attracting people’s attendance is one of the main objectives of the urban strategies aiming at converting abandoned or degraded places into liveable and vibrant city spots. In the process of managing a massive group of internally displaced persons, the presence of people can be regarded as an immense resource in refurbishment of obsolete parts of the city by incorporating their participation in the process of redevelopment of the built environment.
In my thesis, I investigate how the situation of large numbers of displaced people in Ukrainian cities and the implementation of modular solutions can be used as a catalyst to introduce long-term change to improve the living conditions of existing residents and transform their neighbourhoods into livable, sustainable and attended places. In my research, I examine the synergies between a short-term tactical urbanism strategy and a long-term strategy of placemaking principles and the role of public participation in both processes.
