Oleksii Pedosenko on the reconstruction of Ukraine

24 July 2023. Oleksii Pedosenko is a Masters student in Regional and Urban Planning at the London School of Economics and an M100 alumnus. In an article for the RICS Journal, which provides expert insight into key issues in the built environment, construction, property and surveying, he reflects on the reconstruction of his homeland Ukraine. Reconstruction is needed on a scale not seen since the Marshall Plan after the Second World War. “The World Bank’s estimate for the cost of reconstruction and recovery of Ukraine is currently US$411bn, more than two-and-a-half times higher than the country’s estimated GDP for 2022,” writes Oleksii. “And this figure does not take into account the recent destruction of the Kakhovka dam on the Dnieper river and subsequent flooding downstream.”
