The work is devoted to highlighting the process of forming the administrative-territorial division of the city of Kyiv in the period from 1934, when the capital of Ukraine was moved to Kyiv, to 2001, the time of the last administrative reform. The main stages and features of the administrative-territorial transformations that took place in the city during the specified period are identified. Particular attention is paid to the historical prerequisites, specifics and consequences of changes in the structure of the territorial organization of the capital. The key stages of the formation and modification of the district division of Kyiv are highlighted in chronological order. The author has investigated that the process of establishing the administrative-territorial division of Kyiv and the course of the formation and renaming of districts occurred depending on the stages of the city’s development, during which districts either appeared or disappeared; frequent subordination of districts to various departmental bodies led to incoherence in management. It has been proven that in 1934–2001 there was a consistent expansion of the urban territory, an increase in the number of districts and a complication of their functions. In the conditions of post-war reconstruction, accelerated industrialization, and mass urbanization, Kyiv turned into one of the largest industrial, scientific, and cultural centers of Ukraine, which necessitated the need for new administrative solutions. The district division during this period reflected the strategic priorities of the Soviet government — centralization of management, control over economic activities, and increased supervision over the social sphere. The creation of new districts and the revision of their borders were aimed at ensuring effective management of the growing population and industrial complex. A characteristic feature was the functional differentiation of districts: along with traditional residential areas, industrial and transport areas were distinguished, which determined the specifics of the development of each district. The administrative division of the period contributed to the consolidation of the modern image of Kyiv as a multifunctional metropolis. Although zoning was often formal in nature and influenced by political decisions, it became an important tool for managing urban space and preparing for further reforms during the independence period.
