Strategic recommendations were developed based on a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the current status of the city and the opinion of ordinary people and experts. The analysis was made by interviewing public opinion leaders who represent different areas of the city life. Preliminary results of the meetings with experts prove that they have unanimous view of the priority sectors and the city development challenges. In addition, to ensure comprehensive analysis the expert opinion will also reflect the wishes of the inhabitants and guests of the city regarding the outlook for Kiev development. Over 1,500 ordinary citizens are being interviewed for the survey now.
