Background. Kyiv, as the capital of Ukraine, faces the issue of neglected industrial areas that negatively impact the urban landscape, economy, and ecology. Revitalization processes can become a key element for the sustainable development of the city in the future. The article aims to explore the current state of industrial areas, their potential for transformation, and the main directions of revitalization.
Methods. The research is based on a comprehensive approach, including the analysis of statistical data, the study of successful cases, and field research. A comprehensive approach is applied for conducting revitalization research of industrial areas, including the following methods: document analysis, field research, cartographic analysis, sociological surveys, comparative analysis, economic analysis, and environmental assessment.
Results. The economic, social, and environmental aspects of the revitalization process are analyzed to identify prospects for different areas. Based on the data, strategies for the development of various city districts, taking into account their specifics, are proposed. By analyzing Ukrainian and foreign sources, the social and economic benefits associated with revitalization, including the creation of new jobs, business development, crime reduction, and quality of life improvement, are examined. The main problematic points remain financial costs, corruption, and lack of interest from authorities.
Conclusions. The conclusions present strategies for the optimal use of urban areas through revitalization from environmental and social perspectives. It is important that revitalization allows for the preservation of historical heritage, ensuring the stability of Kyiv's development. The research results can serve as a basis for further revitalization projects of urban areas in Ukraine, contributing to the improvement of the urban environment and the integration of modern practices into urban planning.
