Abstract:
The article substantiates a spatially differentiated investment policy for the reconstruction of residential real estate in Ukraine under conditions of post-war recovery and ongoing security risks. The aim of the study is to combine the analysis of threats to the housing stock with financial assessments of losses and needs in order to determine the sequence and intensity of interventions across regions. The empirical basis includes mapping events that have affected housing infrastructure (February 24, 2022 – December 31, 2024) and summarized assessments of the damage caused, losses, and recovery needs by regions. The methodology is based on the integration of three groups of indicators: risk of damage (spatial density/clusters of events), budget strain (the region’s share in total needs), and depth of interventions (the ratio of «needs/losses» as a guideline for choosing between repairs/renovations and full reconstruction). The results demonstrate a pronounced southeast concentration of both threats and needs; over four-fifths of the total volume of resources is concentrated in a few areas, and the profiles of reconstruction vary significantly even in adjacent regions. On this basis, a three-level typology of recovery zones has been proposed (stable/rear; medium risk; high risk/frontline) and corresponding implementation approaches: scaling permanent housing in stable regions; combined solution packages in areas of medium risk (transitional formats together with permanent construction); priority critical repairs and transitional housing with a phased transition to capital projects in frontline areas. The proposed approach connects the prioritization of investments with the requirements of resilience (build back better), aligns housing interventions with the restoration of engineering infrastructure, and involves the use of risk-sharing tools (in particular, insurance/guarantees for war risks) to broaden the participation of private capital. Investment policy must be risk-adjusted: it should include insurance against war risks/first loss guarantees, and access to financing should be linked to build back better standards (shelters, reinforced structures, energy efficiency, autonomy). Housing investments should be synchronized with the restoration of engineering networks and security measures. The proposed framework enables targeted allocation of limited resources and reduces uncertainty for investors.

Keywords: residential real estate, investment policy, risk analysis, regional needs; build back better, post-war recovery, reconstruction, renovation.
