Dnieper banks of kyiv: development and transformation in time

Abstract

In this article we have retrospectively the state of river ecosystems of the city of Kyiv with an emphasis on modern ecological problems is considered retrospectively. The interdependence of the city and the river is emphasized, and temporary changes for the city entail changes in the city river and its coastal area. The genesis of the nature of the river in the urban fabric is demonstrated on the example of the Kyiv Dnieper: defense, transport-logistics, industrial-economic, water-energy, health-recreational functions. Water management and energy functions are the objectives of today's cascade of Dnieper reservoirs, which transformed the once turbulent Dnieper. Determining the boundaries of the coastal zone and taking into account the influence of the river, is subject to the general principles of functional zoning and regional and architectural planning. Professional planning of river-side areas will enable balanced and effective development, and also preservation of water areas. The establishment of boundary green lines will help preserve the natural fabric of the urbanized body of Kiev. Measures to revive the coastal areas of Kyiv are proposed. Appreciate, cherish, learn from nature, live in harmony with the environment should be a priority concept in all the spheres of human activity. And, most importantly, this holds true for modern urban planning.
