Cities that are at the epicenter of military conflicts find themselves in an extremely difficult situation. In addition to the most terrible ‒ human losses, the infrastructure of cities, housing stock and industry are destroyed. An extremely difficult task for such territories is their post-war reconstruction. This process can be successful only when there is an understanding of the main approaches and mechanisms for restoration work in such cities. The necessary solution is the development of effective strategies and programs for the reconstruction of cities. This determines a number of priority tasks, namely: analysis of the experience of recovery of the countries of the world after similar destructions and study of the peculiarities of housing reconstruction, as the most acute problem. The article examines the main directions of post-war reconstruction of cities, since post-war reconstruction is an extremely difficult task for any city and country. And for this, it is necessary to determine the priority directions of the restoration and development of cities, depending on the characteristics and nature of their destruction. The restoration of cities should not be limited to reconstruction, but should be decided on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the degree of destruction, the economic component and social reintegration. The experience of countries that have gone through the stages of war and reconstruction is of considerable importance in creating programs for the reconstruction of cities. The set of measures that will contribute to the implementation of programs of reconstruction and provision of housing for the population accretes the world experience. Therefore, the article examines the world experience of the restoration of war-ravaged cities. For partially destroyed cities with a preserved urban environment, it is possible to develop an actual design solution that will take into account the type of reproduction ‒ restoration, reconstruction, or new construction. For territories that have suffered severe destruction, possible options for the implementation of the reconstruction program and provision of housing for the population are: new construction, housing rental, temporary construction of modular or container facilities, formation of a replacement housing fund, compensation for housing. An approach to architectural and town-planning solutions has been developed, which consists in mastering the underground space, the spatial composition of the courtyard space, and the architectural solutions of the buildings.
