This research monograph is devoted to historical and urban planning studies of Ukrainian cities, namely, the development of research and design documentation, which includes historical and architectural reference plans, determination of the boundaries and modes of use of monument protection zones, determination of the boundaries and modes of use of the territories of historical areas. Without such research and design documentation, the development of master plans and other urban planning documentation is not allowed.
This monograph continues the series initiated in 2008 with the monographs "Historical and Urban Planning Studies of Chernivtsi" and "Historical and Urban Planning Studies of Odesa." It summarizes the experience of the Research Institute of Monument Protection Research in developing such research and design documentation for the cities of Vasylkiv, Kyiv region, Izmail, Odesa region, Vinnytsia, and Horlivka, Donetsk region. The results of these studies are the provision of each of these four cities with a complete set of scientific and project documentation aimed at preserving the immovable cultural heritage. Therefore, this monograph can serve as a methodological guide for the development of such documentation for other historic cities.
The publication is intended for historians of architecture and urbanism, cultural studies, historians, archaeologists, local historians, art historians, museum workers, employees of cultural heritage protection bodies, urban planning and architecture bodies, local governments, students and teachers of educational institutions, activists of the Ukrainian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments, as well as anyone interested in the history and cultural heritage of Ukraine.
