Desnianskyi District (

Dnieper River and is the most populous district of Kyiv. It is also the second largest district, with the total area of ca. 14.2 ha
.

Desnianskyi District mainly consists of two

registered business entities among Kyiv raions.[2] Much like commuter town, therefore, Desnianskyi District has very little commercial or industrial activity beyond a small amount of retail, oriented toward serving the locals. However, it differs from commuter towns in that it forms part of the city proper and is not regarded as suburb in a classical sense. Still, its currently weak transportation links with the major part of the city on the Right Bank make it appear as a "city inside a city", which is especially true for Troieshchyna microdistrict.[3]

History

The first written reference of the lands that today form part of Desnianskyi District dates back to 1667.

Vatutin
Raion.

Troieshchyna

Residential development of what would become known as Troieshchyna microdistrict started in 1966. However it was not until the completion of Pivnichnyi Bridge (named Moskovskyi Bridge until 2018[5]) in 1976 that the development became genuinely large-scale.[6]
