As a result of the Russian aggression, 76% of the buildings and structures of the Irpin agglomeration were destroyed or damaged. The restoration of each object requires a separate examination and individual design. At the summit, renovation projects of iconic cultural objects, the city square, kindergartens and schools were presented. The concept presentation is only an intermediate step in the restoration program.
The Irpin Museum of Local History, located in the premises of the former shopping center on the central square of the city, received minor damage. During the renovation, it is proposed to expand the area of exhibition galleries and foundations, as well as to create a new entrance group. The location of the museum on the first floor of a residential building leaves no room for radical spatial solutions, but the designers consider it possible to turn it into a modern object of cultural infrastructure.

According to Ruslan Savchuk's team, the city club "Romanivka" is in for a radical restructuring. It is assumed that the new object on the site of the destroyed building will become a symbolic link of the "Road of Life", an element that complements the monument on the site of the destroyed bridge, designed by balbek bureau architects. The architects propose to supplement the club space with an exhibition gallery, a dance hall, a cafe, and a library. In front of the club, the authors of the project propose to create a children's playground in the Scandinavian style.

Immediately, several teams presented their options for the restoration of the Central House of Culture in Irpen. The historic building was badly damaged, but all the participants of the brainstorming are trying to preserve it. This can be conservation of the facade and the entrance area with columns under the glass sarcophagus, restoration or construction of a copy that will correspond to the original. The new volumes, which are planned to be attached to the house with columns, will have an emphatically modern design.
The "Champion" stadium is planned not only to be restored, but also to be modernized. Increase the number of fields by adding multifunctional playgrounds for children's clubs; install new lighting systems that meet international standards, and protect the stands with canopies with solar batteries.

A modern multifunctional square will appear on the site of the market destroyed by shelling on Sobornii Street, the projects of which have also been prepared by several bureaus. Offering different designs, all developers focus on making the new public space a "space for everyone" — barrier-free, comfortable and flexible: with landscaping, sun pergolas, fountains and ponds, a skate park, food courts. There is also an idea to connect the new square with a pedestrian and bicycle bridge to Pravyka Park.
Schools and kindergartens, the restoration of which is a priority, are planned to be equipped with shelters designed to receive all pupils and employees. Some of the objects cannot be repaired and are designed as new construction.

The summit also raised the issue of creating a new spatial concept of the Irpin agglomeration, improving the road network and laying new bicycle routes between the sub-centers and Kyiv.
All presented projects and their budgets will be discussed in working groups. We will remind, earlier the mayor of Irpen, Oleksandr Markushyn, stated that 1 billion dollars is needed to restore the entire infrastructure of the Irpen community, 850 million of which will go to the restoration of the housing stock.
