About Hackathon “100 ideas for cities”
One of the largest projects to restore Ukrainian cities after the war is the 100 Ideas for Cities Hackathon, organized by the Innovation and Reconstruction for Society (IRS) project and the NGO Club of Mayors.
The hackathon has already brought significant results, bringing together 63 developed architectural ideas for participating communities from all over Ukraine. Currently, 250 applications have already been received from communities in 22 regions, which is about a hundred communities. the project involves 139 formed architectural teams, 20% from abroad: Belgium, Chile, Austria, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Italy, the Netherlands and Slovakia.
We, the project participants and organizers, have a responsible task to implement several projects that are important not only for a single community but for the whole of Ukraine. We also plan to provide the Office of the President and the Prime Minister with unified solutions that can become the basis for the development of similar projects in many communities in Ukraine, including schools, kindergartens, ASCs, rehabilitation centers, memorials, and sports infrastructure
