PROBLEMS OF POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION M. ЕNERGODAR

Abstract

The article examines a number of problems of the post-war reconstruction of Energodar - the only satellite city of the NPP in Ukraine that was under occupation. The restoration of the city depends entirely on the wartime events at the Zaporizhia NPP, which became the subject of blackmail and a nuclear threat from the Russian Federation to the whole world. The satellite city reconstruction program is closely related to the restoration of the NPP, which is possible only with the de-occupation of the station itself and the surrounding area. The future of the station will depend on the trends in the use of nuclear power in the world and the reform of the energy base of Ukraine.  The stages of formation and development of the city of Energodar are analyzed, the peculiarities of its functioning and the rhythm of life depending on the industrial production base are shown. The architectural and planning organization of the city built according to the established principles of Soviet urban planning, as well as other satellite cities of the NPP in Ukraine, is considered. The role of the nuclear power plant in achieving high social standards of the city of Energodar in its pre-war state is shown.  The theoretical and methodological basis of the development of urban planning systems as a basis for the development of strategic plans for the post-war recovery of the city, as well as the factors that will be the guarantee of such recovery, are considered.  The material of the article includes references to a number of program documents regarding various scenarios of the future development of the city and  highlights the problems associated with the work of the ZNPP, taking into account the changes in the social sphere of the post-war period. A number of proposals have been put forward regarding the post-war reconstruction and further development of the city, relating to: honoring the memory of our soldiers and residents, their resilience and courage in resisting the invaders; a new look at the organization of the functional planning structure of the city, residential environment, purpose and location of public buildings, landscape and recreation areas; the specified problem of migration policy and the levers of the return of the population to the city and regional and state relations.  The latest events at the Kakhovsky Reservoir, which are closely related to the ZNPP and, accordingly, to the city itself, show that the restoration process of Energodar is not fixed in time and will change and adjust along with the rapid development of wartime events.
