Metropolitan cooperation · Ukraine

One region. Shared systems. A stronger future.

Kryvyi Rih Agglomeration brings communities together around infrastructure and services that do not stop at administrative borders. We turn shared needs into mature projects and a credible voice for recovery and long-term growth.

01 · HOW WE WORK

Cooperation without losing local agency.

The agglomeration is a practical platform for aligning shared interests. It does not replace local government and does not take over municipal powers.

A cooperation platform, not a new level of government.

Communities retain their powers, budgets and accountability. Together, they can diagnose cross-border challenges, prepare one evidence base, assemble mature joint projects and represent them with a stronger voice before the state, European partners, donors and investors.

01

Local authority

Every decision remains with the competent community and its elected bodies.

02

Shared evidence

One diagnosis, compatible data and transparent assumptions replace parallel guesswork.

03

Joint leverage

A coordinated portfolio makes the scale, impact and readiness of projects easier to see and support.

02 · ONE CONNECTED TERRITORY

Four systems. One daily life.

Touch a system to see the chain of interdependence. The most valuable projects solve more than one problem at a time.

01

Energy resilience

Distributed generation, municipal energy management and stronger thermal envelopes keep essential services operating and reduce long-term costs.

Critical facilities remain operational
Municipal buildings consume less energy
Local generation strengthens the grid
03 · SHARED AGENDA

Where cooperation creates more value.

Four portfolio directions translate frontline resilience into a credible post-war development agenda.

03 / 0101

Energy resilience

From distributed generation and storage to deep renovation of municipal buildings and apartment blocks.

03 / 0202

Economy + circularity

Industrial recovery, productive brownfields, resource efficiency and new markets for secondary materials.

03 / 0303

Social + veteran policy

Accessible service routes, veteran hubs, rehabilitation, employment and stronger community cohesion.

03 / 0404

Water + wastewater

Main and local networks, alternative sources, irrigation, treatment, reuse and ecological recovery.

04 · PROJECT PIPELINE

From scattered ideas to a visible portfolio.

The prototype shows how future initiatives will be grouped, reviewed and presented. Project data will appear after validation by the competent communities.

PORTFOLIO FRAMEWORK · IN PREPARATION

One view of readiness, impact and financing.

Each initiative will show the problem, beneficiaries, strategic fit, technical readiness, full life-cycle cost, decisions required and the most realistic route to finance.

05 · METHOD

A project is not a form. It is a chain of evidence.

Methodological support helps communities move from a real need to a decision-ready, finance-ready and delivery-ready project.

01

Diagnose

Verify the problem, affected groups, baseline and root causes.

02

Design

Compare options and build a measurable intervention logic.

03

Prepare

Assemble decisions, technical evidence, budget, risks and financing route.

04

Deliver

Procure, monitor, report, manage change and verify the public result.
