A Green Reconstruction of Ukraine Begins with Affordable Housing

The Shape of Recovery, edited by Anastasiia Zhuravel, explores recovery as a social, spatial, and political process that goes beyond physical reconstruction. Bringing together researchers, practitioners, and activists, the book reflects on post-crisis urban transformation with a particular focus on Ukraine, examining how cities, communities, and institutions reconfigure everyday life, governance, care, and ecological relations in times of profound disruption.
AHI's David Smith contributed a chapter on why affordable and social housing are not peripheral social policies but foundational infrastructure for Ukraine’s green, secure, and democratic future.
