Japan offers Ukraine a modular housing project: pilot programme may be launched in Lviv
This was reported by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine.
A working meeting was held at the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development within the framework of the Japanese-Ukrainian platform JUPITeR, during which the Japanese side presented concepts for the construction of modern modular housing in Ukraine.
Representatives of the Japan Prefabricated Housing Manufacturers Association took part in the presentation.
Following the meeting, the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development will prepare proposals for several locations in communities that could serve as launch pads for pilot social housing projects.
These proposals are planned to be submitted to the Japanese side for further evaluation.
Lviv is currently being considered as one of the possible cities for the implementation of such a project.
During the meeting, the parties also discussed the practical aspects of launching such initiatives.
In particular, they discussed the possible volumes of modular house production, manufacturing times, construction costs, the possibility of scaling projects, and the logistics of delivering structures.
Special attention was paid to the overall construction deadlines.
The meeting participants also discussed further steps to launch the initiative.
In particular, it is planned to take into account the experience of reconstruction projects that Ukraine is already implementing together with French partners.
This involves preparing a technical and economic justification for each site, defining the roles of the parties, the financial model and the economic efficiency of the projects.
