Kiev or Kyiv is the capital and the largest city of Ukraine, located in the north central part of the country on the Dnieper River. The population as of the 2001 census was 2,611,300. However, higher numbers have been cited in the press.Kiev is an important industrial, scientific, educational and cultural centre of Eastern Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education institutions and world-famous historical landmarks. The city has an extensive infrastructure and highly developed system of public transport, including the Kiev Metro.
Administratively, the city is divided into 10 raions (districts).Three of them (Darnytskyi, Desnianskyi, and Dniprovskyi raions) are located on the left (east) bank of the Dniepr river.Seven raions (Holosiyivskyi, Obolonskyi, Pecherskyi, Podilskyi , Shevchenkivskyi, Solomianskyi, Svyatoshynskyi) are located on the right (west) bank.As of the All-Ukrainian Census conducted in 2001, the population of Kiev is 2,611,000. It is a big city which is not easy to manage. That's why each district (raion) has its own unit of central and local government with jurisdiction over a limited scope of affairs.If you ask Kievans where they live, most likely, they will use another (non-formal) names to describe their neighborhoods. Most of them have lost their distinctive topographic limits since they got their original names from the times immemorial. But people still use those historical names.
Here are the most notable informal historical neighborhoods of Kiev.
Public transportation in Kiev includes the metro (underground), buses, trolleybuses and trams. The publicly owned and operated Kiev Metro system is the fastest, the most convenient and affordable network that covers most, but not all, of the city. The metro is continuously expanding towards the city limits to meet growing demand, while the other kinds of public transport are not that well maintained. In particular, the public bus service has an unreliable schedule. Public electric trolleybus and tram lines are more reliable, but have aged equipment and are underfunded. The historic tram system, which once was a well maintained and widely used method of transport, is now gradually being phased out in favor of buses and trolleybuses.
