Issues of the organization of systems of pedestrian zones in the historical center of Kyiv

The article substantiates the need to complete the formation of an integrated network of pedestrian spaces in the historic center of Kiev. The author proposes a method of spatial analysis to assess the state of public spaces in the city. It is noted that the existing transport infrastructure of the city does not provide for the formation of new pedestrian zones. The author analyzes the central squares of Kyiv: Independence Square, Troitska, Tolstoy Square, European, Sofia, Mikhailovska, Lvivska, Peremogy Square in terms of ease of pedestrian traffic and the availability of public spaces. Means of formation of a network of pedestrian public spaces and offers on design of separate fragments of the city are offered.
