The project supports the town of&nbsp;Zolochiv in&nbsp;the Lviv Oblast in&nbsp;its development planning, the protection of&nbsp;its historic heritage, and its preparation for future reconstruction and new investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<nav class=\"pkng-toc\" aria-label=\"Contents\"><p class=\"pkng-toc__title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"pkng-toc__list\"><li class=\"pkng-toc__item pkng-toc__item--h3\"><a href=\"#h-planning-for-recovery-and-reconstruction\"><span class=\"pkng-toc__nr\">1.<\/span> Planning for Recovery and Reconstruction<\/a><\/li><li class=\"pkng-toc__item pkng-toc__item--h3\"><a href=\"#h-workshops-and-research-in-zolochiv\"><span class=\"pkng-toc__nr\">2.<\/span> Workshops and Research in&nbsp;Zolochiv<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Representing PK&nbsp;Krakow University of&nbsp;Technology and INTBAU, Dr&nbsp;Jele\u0144ski leads the project\u2019s&nbsp;historic heritage team. One of&nbsp;the team\u2019s&nbsp;main tasks is&nbsp;currently the preparation of&nbsp;an&nbsp;architectural guide and guidelines for the protection and partial reconstruction of&nbsp;Zolochiv\u2019s&nbsp;historic buildings. The aim is&nbsp;to&nbsp;develop practical principles that will help preserve, and to&nbsp;a&nbsp;considerable extent restore, the historic architectural character of&nbsp;a&nbsp;town that has suffered wartime destruction as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;transformations resulting from Soviet-era development in&nbsp;its historic centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning for Recovery and Reconstruction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The project responds to&nbsp;the challenges facing Ukrainian cities during the war and in&nbsp;the prospect of&nbsp;post-war reconstruction. It&nbsp;addresses not only conservation issues but also the design and planning of&nbsp;new housing developments, including in&nbsp;response to&nbsp;the needs of&nbsp;around 3.5 million internally displaced persons forced to&nbsp;leave their homes because of&nbsp;the full-scale war. Working with local and regional authorities and with Ukrainian architects and urban planners, the project team is&nbsp;developing a&nbsp;planning methodology, including innovative regulatory tools for spatial development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshops and Research in&nbsp;Zolochiv<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">During the October visit, the team presented the results of&nbsp;work begun during their stay in&nbsp;Zolochiv in&nbsp;March this year and held workshops attended by&nbsp;representatives of&nbsp;the city authorities, the city and regional architects, local specialists, investors, and other stakeholders. The project combines expertise in&nbsp;architecture, urban planning, and the social sciences, laying the groundwork for solutions for other towns affected by&nbsp;the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The visit also marked the next stage of&nbsp;scientific cooperation supported by&nbsp;a&nbsp;Notre Dame Global grant. An&nbsp;important part of&nbsp;the project is&nbsp;research at&nbsp;the intersection of&nbsp;urban planning and anthropology, focusing on&nbsp;the impact of&nbsp;the built environment on&nbsp;individuals and communities affected by&nbsp;trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Dr&nbsp;Jele\u0144ski\u2019s&nbsp;participation in&nbsp;the project reflects his wider work in&nbsp;sustainable urban management, heritage protection, and the use of&nbsp;tradition in&nbsp;contemporary architecture and urban planning. The architectural guide and design guidelines being prepared under his direction are to&nbsp;serve as&nbsp;practical tools to&nbsp;support the local government and residents of&nbsp;Zolochiv in&nbsp;making decisions about the future of&nbsp;the town\u2019s&nbsp;historic buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Dr&nbsp;Tomasz Jele\u0144ski is&nbsp;Director of&nbsp;the International Education Centre at&nbsp;PK&nbsp;Krakow University of&nbsp;Technology.
