Urban Bridges is a project by Dreamtown (Denmark) and Molod Online (Ukraine). The objective is to strengthen social cohesion in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, by enabling internally displaced youth (IDP) and host youth to democratically co-create and activate urban spaces, while laying the foundation for a strong partnership between Dreamtown and Molod Online. In total, the project engages 500 young people (150 IDP youth and 350 host youth aged 15-35) and 50 stakeholders. The project is expected to achieve three outcomes: Outcome 1 strengthens the partnership between Molod Online and Dreamtown. Outcome 2 advances a co-design process where IDP and host youth collaborate to develop 3–5 inclusive public space concepts. Outcome 3 engages municipal officials, planners in Zaporizhzhia and other Ukrainian cities, as well as international urban development stakeholders. Together, these outcomes provide a crucial stepping stone toward a sustainable partnership model for future initiatives in Ukraine.
