"During my internship, I worked on the preliminary planning of a new city located northwest of Kyiv on a site of about 150 hectares. At this stage of the project, the primary objective was to develop a technically feasible masterplan that communicated the project's long-term vision and pitch it to the investors. ... My internship enabled me to contribute to a large-scale urban development project addressing one of Ukraine's most pressing post-war reconstruction challenges. Through masterplanning, zoning, phasing strategies, urban design, and visual communication, I supported the development of an investor-ready proposal that seeks to create a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable community capable of meeting the long-term needs of its future residents." -Angelica Adhikari
