A Researcher at the Center for Urban Studies in Kyiv, Mariia Gryshchenko is currently analyzing emerging initiatives dealing with the recovery of Ukrainian cities and territories. Her project consists of two primary tasks. Firstly, she interviewed Ukrainian NGO members about the activities, plans, and principles guiding their work on recovery projects. Secondly, Mariia archives speeches on the recovery of Ukraine’s territories and messages about such initiatives in the media.
