On September 1, about 25,000 first-graders will start school in the Ukrainian capital, which is close to the pre-war figures, according to the website of the Kyiv City State Administration.
“It is thanks to our work and efforts that the educational process in Kyiv has not stopped. And this is despite the fact that during the large-scale war the Russian aggressor damaged 104 educational institutions in the capital. 83 of them have already been restored, while the rest are undergoing repairs. This year, about 25 thousand first-graders will go to Kyiv schools, which is close to the pre-war figures. I believe this is a manifestation of trust in us. And the desire of parents for their children to live and study in Ukraine, in Kyiv,” said Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko at an educational conference in August.
According to him, all 420 schools in the capital will start their work, the vast majority of them in a full-time format.
The mayor thanked the teachers for their work. According to Klitschko, 762 graduates received the maximum 200 points in the national multi-subject test.
In Kyiv, 42 thousand square meters of office space is expected to be commissioned by the end of the year, according to CBRE Ukraine’s office real estate market research.
According to the study, in the first half of 2023, only one small office building Unit.City B4 (13.2 thousand square meters) was commissioned. The total volume of competitive office space remained almost unchanged at 2.22 million sq m.
It is expected that in the second half of 2023, about 42 thousand sq m will be commissioned in four business centers. At the same time, BC Twelve (14 thousand sq m) and BC Heritage (16.8 thousand sq m) account for 73% of the new supply. CBRE Ukraine does not rule out delays in construction and commissioning.
The study states that the full-scale war has reduced development activity in the office segment; the amount of office space under construction has decreased. In particular, several office projects originally scheduled for completion in 2023 have been suspended until at least 2024. At the same time, no new development projects were recorded in 2022, and it is unlikely that they will appear before the end of 2023. Therefore, it is predicted that over the next two to three years, the volume of office real estate can only grow if suspended development projects are restarted.
CBRE, headquartered in Los Angeles (USA), is the world’s largest commercial real estate consulting and investment company, with revenues of $30.8 billion in 2022. According to Fortune, it is one of the world’s 500 largest companies.
CBRE Group Inc. shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
CBRE’s Ukrainian office was opened in January 2008 and is part of the company’s affiliate network.
More than 100,000 trees have been digitized in Kyiv, according to Oleksandr Voznyi, head of the Department of Environmental Protection and Climate Change Adaptation at the Kyiv City State Administration.
“Our online map of trees is being actively updated and as of today contains more than 107 thousand plantations. By creating this resource, we aimed to conduct a clear inventory and understand how many trees there are in the capital, what condition they are in, and to provide the community with effective control tools,” he wrote on Facebook.
Voznyi noted that a significant amount of work has been done by the utility companies of Desnianskyi, Holosiivskyi and Pecherskyi districts, which have digitized all street trees and the vast majority of parks and are now working in parks.
“Seven parks in Desnianskyi and one in Holosiivskyi districts of the capital have already been added to the online map. We have also started digitizing the Partisan Glory Park in Darnytsia district and the Eternal Glory Park in Pechersk district of Kyiv,” he said.
The resource will contain a photo of each “digitized” tree, information about its location (with reference to the exact coordinates), species, trunk diameter, height and condition.
The online map is still being updated. Since it is created using high-precision maps, it will be made public as soon as it is possible from the point of view of security issues.
