About the project

Kyiv is an open and inclusive city that welcomes everyone who comes here, regardless of origin, language or history. It is a big home where everyone can find their place: a native, a migrant, a guest from abroad or a tourist. There is no division here into “their own” and “strangers” – the city creates a space for equal opportunities, support and mutual respect.

The capital of Ukraine stands as the heart of the country and a symbol of unity, combining ancient history and modern meanings. It offers not only architecture and culture, but also a special atmosphere of mutual care, shelter and new beginnings. “The city of everyone” is Kyiv, where you can feel at home even when you come here for the first time, and which always remains a part of the life of those who have touched its rhythm at least once.

Symon Petliura Street
Route

Symon Petliura Street is a historic thoroughfare in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv, running from Taras Shevchenko Boulevard to Vokzalna Square. Planned as early as the 1830s, it was at its upper end that the Botanical Garden of the University named after academician Oleksandr Fomin was established — known to Kyiv residents as the “old” botanical garden, because it was the first of the city’s botanical gardens.

Throughout the 20th century, the street changed names several times, and in 2009 it received its current name in honor of Symon Petliura, the Chief Otaman of the Armed Forces of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. Today, it is a lively street with historic architecture, cafés, offices, and the entrance to the Botanical Garden — a place where Kyiv’s historical heritage merges with the rhythm of modern city life.
