The Focus magazine evaluated cities on 14 various criteria in an annual «Rating of 50 Best Cities to live in Ukraine» (a level of business activity, migration, a rate of population growth, ecology).

Do you consider that a city governance system (including an official city website), advanced services provided by "A Transparent Office" are affordable, efficient and transparent? Do this format of interaction between a community and city authorities can help to combat a corruption?

4. According to the Strategy of Development «Vinnytsia-2020» in 2020 Vinnytsia has to become a city of ‘smiling people’. A brand of Vinnytsia will be ‘SMILE’. In fact, the abbreviation ‘SMILE’ has signs of what Vinnytsia aspires to be. ‘SMILE’ city means:

Strong community - to participate in development of a strong and active community.
