As reported, since its launch on October 1, 2024, the Land Bank project has sold more than 60,700 hectares of state-owned land in 19 regions of Ukraine at auction, of which 57,400 hectares have already been transferred to farmers for use.
French architect and president of the Architecture et Maîtres d’Ouvrage (AMO) association Martin Duplantier, who created D Architecture Ukraine LLC for projects of restoration and development of Ukrainian cities in the face of full-scale Russian aggression, will develop a concept for a public garden in the center of Mykolaiv.
“Mykolaiv City Council signed a memorandum of cooperation with French architect Martin Duplantier. The goal of this cooperation is to create an aesthetically pleasing and high-quality urban environment in Mykolaiv in accordance with European urban principles,” Yevhen Polyakov, director of the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning at Mykolaiv City Council, told Interfax-Ukraine.
The architect chose a park of over 9,000 square meters located in the Central District (along 17, 19 Heroiv Ukrayiny Avenue). This square has the potential to become a kind of attraction point for residents of neighboring buildings and passersby as a place for quiet and active recreation.
Work is currently underway to develop conceptual design solutions, which will last from early September to late November. Design work is being carried out without the involvement of budgetary funds.
