Abstract
Problem Statement and Purpose. The question of post-socialist city transformation takes a prominent place in modern scientific discourse. In Ukraine, functional transformations of urban areas were investigated mainly in the inner parts of cities. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to determine key trends and peculiarities of the spatial transformations within the residential district of Ukrainian post-socialist city. Data & Methods. As a test area site for the research was chosen Vyshenka, the largest residential area of the Vinnytsa,. All objects, located within the test area, were evaluated during the field trip in terms of their functional profile and condition (level of renewal or modernization). Obtained data were analyzed using spatial interpolation and overlay operations. Results. Analysis of the data revealed that the functional profile of the test area and condition of the objects located within have undergone substantial changes during the analyzed period. Three types of spatial transformations were identified: renewal, modernization, and functional change. The primary agents of spatial transformations include public transport, large-scale trade facilities, sacral places, dormitories, periphery of industrial areas, areas of new housing construction, higher and professional educational institutions. The secondary agents include secondary educational institutions, open spaces, and industrial areas. We identified integrated socio-spatial processes such as polarization, commercialization, de-industrialization, revitalization, as well as some manifestations of segregation and gentrification. The results indicate similarity to the trends taking place in other post-socialist Ukrainian cities; specificity of the case is caused by peculiarities of the interaction between the key transformation actors, namely citizens, local government, and business.
