ABSTRACT
The chapter is devoted to the analysis of a comprehensive approach of equality promotion via designing and implementing the intercultural strategy of the city. A multicultural city of Sumy at the North-Eastern part of Ukraine is used as a case study. Currently the city has just adopted the intercultural strategy incorporated within the city development strategy. It presents the best Ukrainian practices and challenges of the solution search for the issues of unequal access to the city infrastructure and municipal services in key spheres of the community life of the city visitors, migrants, and minorities of all kinds. The paper focuses on the empirical analysis of the cultural and educational components which appear to be essential in building the proper mentality and understanding of the need for the equality within the local community. There are a number of outlined strategic solutions based on the best world practices of the intercultural cities and adapted to the reality of a Ukrainian provincial city.
