Oneworks Foundation visited Mykolaiv

As part of a joint delegation with the UNECE Housing and Land Management Unit, the Oneworks Foundation visited Mykolaiv, Ukraine. Our Director, Silvia Botti, along with Oneworks Managing Partner, Leonardo Cavalli, and Project Director, Francesca Pintus, had the privilege of meeting with Mykolaiv's Mayor, Oleksandr Syenkevych, and City Council Chairman, Dmytro Falko. The purpose of the visit was to explore the city and discuss the Concept Masterplan and pilot projects for sustainable urban development. 

During this important visit, we were honored to officially present the first part of the masterplan, marking a crucial step in transforming it into a concrete, actionable project. Our team also actively participated in workshops and various activities that highlighted the resilience and strength of the local community. 

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the inspiring individuals leading Ukraine's resistance and shaping its hopeful future, including Tetiana Shulichenko and Yevhen Poliakov from the city council, and Artem Vashchylenko, Executive Director at UABSC. Special thanks also go to Carlo Formosa, the Italian Ambassador in Ukraine; Jakob Hansen, Head of the Danish Embassy Office in Mykolaiv; Paola DEDA, Director of the UNECE Housing and Land Management Unit; Thâmara Fortes, UN4Ukrainian Cities Project Manager at UNECE; Melanie Steinkemper, Urban Development Specialist at UNECE; Enkel Leskaj, Programme Management Assistant at UNECE; and Albina Shuyska from COWI for joining us on this meaningful visit. 

The Oneworks Foundation, in partnership with UNECE, remains steadfast in its commitment to collaborating with Mykolaiv, working together to build a sustainable and prosperous future for the city and its residents.
