In Ukraine, modular towns for internally displaced persons from Donbas began to appear in 2015. Seven of them were paid for by Germany — in Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. The housing was planned as temporary, with a service life of two years. But people stayed in them longer. As of September 2021, 1,323 people lived in seven modular towns. One of them — in Kharkiv — was declared unfit for habitation in 2020 after a technical examination. And yet, people stayed there.
