The challenges facing Ukrainian cities today require a thorough analysis of their socio-economic development. This article proposes developing a clearer toolkit for assessing the ability of individual cities to build their economic capacity and sustainability, based on studying the socio-economic situations of urban territorial communities from different regions within Ukraine. Based on estimates of socio-economic status, an algorithm was worked out to assess this development. Taking into account the integrative nature of urban policymaking, the framework, mechanisms, and instruments of such a policy were developed, and a scheme was built to link scenarios, strategies, and instruments of urban policy. These can be applied to urban territorial communities at different stages of development. In this study, we relied on available statistical data. However, in practice, we encountered fragmented and incomplete data, particularly regarding the migration patterns of internally displaced persons, their potential contributions to given individual city’s economies, and the impact of displacement on urban planning. This made it impossible to address the challenges of maintaining security, building resilience, and developing urban planning visions. To conduct a thorough analysis of cities’ resilience to challenges while also needing to maintain security, we propose expanding the range of municipal statistical data and updating the statistical observation methodology. The practical significance of this study lies in the possibility of applying the proposed approaches to collecting and processing data on urban development and modelling scenarios and strategies for developing urban policies in Ukrainian cities with similar development conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on complying with the principles of sustainability, security, and smartification when developing urban policies for Ukrainian cities.
