The study found that a comprehensive approach based on sustainable development is needed to rebuild cities after conflict or war. The process of rebuilding and developing can be lengthy, but it’s important to ensure that the city develops in a harmonious way, considering economic, social and environmental aspects. Important trends towards sustainable urban development and ensuring its economic, social and environmental sustainability are reflected in modern approaches to urban development. This means that urban planning and regeneration should consider not only material aspects, but also socio-cultural and environmental factors that affect the quality of life of those living in the city and the overall development of the city. Innovative technologies, energy efficiency, green building and social aspects are key to the improvement of infrastructure and quality of life in regenerated cities. The introduction of the latest technologies, which are important for the sustainable development of cities and their future viability, helps to reduce waste, rationalise the use of resources and preserve the environment. It is important to note that green cities are an important component of sustainable development in the modern world. These green city models are a valuable reference point for Ukraine and other countries in planning and implementing environmental initiatives in the urban environment. Approaches to creating green and sustainable cities vary. However, they all aim to ensure the quality of life of residents and the economic development of regions. It is important to bear in mind that green cities have the potential to improve the quality of life of the population, to contribute to the preservation of the environment and to the sustainability of the urban environment. Living and working conditions in cities can be gracefully improved and contribute to sustainable development at various levels by implementing effective development strategies inspired by these models. The study confirms that through the development of infrastructure and social initiatives aimed at creating a comfortable and safe environment for living and personal development, it is possible to improve the quality of life of city residents. In order to support sustainable urban development and improve the lives of residents, it is important to continue research in this area and to put the found approaches into practice. As a result of the study, recommendations have been developed to implement certain positions and conceptual approaches in the practice of urban renewal and development to create sustainable, cost effective and comfortable conditions for residents. The recommendations cover important areas such as innovative technologies, sustainable development, social aspects, getting the local community involved and financial stability. Applying these recommendations will help create cities that are environmentally friendly, energy efficient and liveable for their inhabitants.
