Mayor: Experts are conducting examinations for each of the destroyed buildings in Kharkiv to understand the feasibility of restoration

In Kharkiv, 4.5 thousand houses have been destroyed so far. Each of the buildings is being examined to determine whether it would be advisable to restore it or to demolish it and build a new one in the same place. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said this during a telethon, UNN reports.

There is a unique reconstruction project in Kharkiv that involves the construction of houses that will be built with underground parking lots and will meet all energy saving requirements.

"There is no other city in Ukraine with the kind of destruction that Kharkiv has seen. Today, 4.5 thousand houses have been destroyed. We are conducting an examination of each house. This is an examination that assesses how possible it is to rebuild this house. Then we do a financial assessment, which estimates the costs that need to be made to rebuild this house and the costs that need to be made to build a new house. When it comes to building a new house and it costs as much as it takes to repair it, then of course we will build new houses. We have a unique reconstruction project, and these are completely different houses that will be built with underground parking lots, and they will meet all the energy saving requirements. In each case, we do everything separately so that both people and builders understand what we are going to do," Terekhov said.
