The current state of transparency and accountability of Ukrainian cities was evaluated, on the basis of which the most acute problems related to ensuring their openness were systematized. Economic and legal prerequisites and means of ensuring the openness of the city, taking into account the factors of post-war reconstruction, have been determined. In particular, the need to improve the legal regulation of processes and relations related to ensuring the openness of the city, in particular, by making additions in connection with a significant change in the conditions of functioning of Ukrainian cities, as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation and taking into account the factors of the country’s post-war reconstruction. The expediency of developing and approving City Openness Strategy as a separate independent document of strategic urban planning or supplementing the City Development Strategy with a corresponding subdivision, which will create prerequisites for economic and legal support of city openness, as well as will contribute to the earliest possible recovery of Ukrainian cities affected by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation and the sustainable development of the rest of the cities and Ukraine as a whole.
