SOCIO-ECONOMIC MODELS OF RESILIENCE OF EUROPEAN CITIES: GUIDELINES FOR POST-WAR UKRAINE

Анотація

The article examines the socio-economic models of resilience of European cities in the context of intensifying global crises and substantiates the possibilities of their adaptation to the tasks of post-war recovery and development of Ukrainian cities. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to rethink traditional approaches to urban development under conditions of war-related destruction, structural shifts in the economy, demographic losses, and increasing social vulnerability. The purpose of the article is to provide a theoretical reflection and a comparative economic analysis of the socio-economic resilience of European cities in order to identify the key factors of urban economic resistance to systemic shocks and to formulate adaptive guidelines for the post-war development of Ukrainian cities. The methodological framework of the study is based on a combination of comparative analysis, a structural-functional approach, and the application of a system of quantitative and qualitative resilience indicators. The empirical basis of the study includes data from Eurostat, the OECD, the European Commission, as well as strategic urban development documents of Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Warsaw, Copenhagen, and Tallinn. The assessment of socio-economic resilience was conducted across the following dimensions: economic diversification, employment and labor market conditions, investment activity, fiscal sustainability, institutional capacity, and social cohesion. The results of the study confirm that a high level of resilience is characteristic of cities with diversified economic structures, well-developed local governance, financial stability, and strong social cohesion. It is substantiated that social cohesion serves as an important intangible resource that enhances the adaptive capacity of urban economies. A comparison of European and Ukrainian cities (Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, Vinnytsia, and Zhytomyr) demonstrates the feasibility of a selective transfer of European resilience practices, taking into account national and local specificities. The practical significance of the findings lies in the formation of analytical guidelines for post-war recovery strategies and the sustainable development of Ukrainian cities.
