SMALL TOWNS IN THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION IN THE CONTEXT OF WAR
Abstract
Small towns in Ukraine serve as local centres for the reproduction of human capital, cultural identity and economic activity. In wartime, their role is amplified, as they become key areas for humanitarian support, business relocation, reception of internally displaced persons and preservation of critical regional infrastructure. The socio-economic transformations caused by the war place new demands on the management of small town development and highlight the need to rethink their strategic potential.
