Lviv Complex Development Strategy by 2025 Dear inhabitants of Lviv, I am convinced that future of our city is formed only by active, purposeful and faithful people. These are the people who are not indifferent what our city will be tomorrow, in 10 or 100 years. Our city is indeed European one. We live in the city central part of which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and which attracts and fascinates guests from all over the world with its beauty. But Lviv continues to live and develop. Through our joint everyday efforts we form the city which we have today. And we already have interesting achievements: in IT development Lviv occupies the third place in Ukraine, according to the Focus magazine it is the best Ukrainian city to live in, Lviv is doubtless cultural capital of Ukraine, we are in Top-10 weekend cities of Europe. But it is not a limit for us. We set new, ambitious but quite realistic goals. We want Lviv to be the №1 city in all aspects of life. During two years experts were working on a Complex strategy of the city development. I hope that this work will become reliable reference point of social, economic and cultural development of Lviv for the next years. However, we’ll manage to realize everything which was conceived only in close cooperation of authority, business, cultural and scientific circles of Lviv. Only not being indifferent and consolidating our efforts we’ll manage to reach set aim.

It observes the chosen direction of the city, supervises and evaluates the implementation of the strategy, defines the procedure for coverage of strategy implementation for the City Council session. The Executive Committee of the Lviv City Council has the authority to ensure the implementation of approved socio-economic and cultural development programs of the city, target programs of local meaning, implement the regulations of The Board, and has authority for coordination departments, offices, bureaus and other executive parts of City council, enterprises, institutions and organizations belonging to the municipal local community of the city. City Institute provides the organizational and informational support for the Complex Development Strategy monitoring and implementation. Organization and monitoring of the Complex Strategy implementation Concerning the key role of working groups in Complex Strategy realization process, as well as their changing membership while working out a common policy, it is essential to ensure effective coordination between offices and the current monitoring to be able to influence on their work efficiency. Application of certain mechanisms to evaluate an influence the City makes in frames of realization and regular public announcement about specific results will provide openness and stability of Strategy realization process.

Due to the current monitoring, executors and top-managers are able to adjust the current action plans for better implementation of strategic objectives. Participation of the public in working groups plays the crucial role in monitoring, which on the one hand allows to involve more expert resources, and on the other hand serves the purposes of public control and transparency in governance. Using similar principles in monitoring system of the Complex Development Strategy we increase manageability and efficiency of strategic objectives. Further implementation steps Lviv Complex Development Strategy by 2025 describes main goals and principles of the City development. To reach them it is necessary to make action plans in detail which are to lay basis of budget planning. This Strategy envisages that currently working 27 specialized programs, strategies and concepts which describe one or the other development direction of the City remain in force. As long as their validity finishes, new action plans will be implemented. Their content will be aimed at Complex Strategy realization. Starting from 2012 all the departments begin to work out their action plans or specialized strategies in order to synchronize planning system of all executive bodies and to set system of indicators – from the all-city’s (mentioned in this Strategy) to specialized according to each department and office.
