We developed an interactive web platform that brings the history of Kyiv to life through maps and storytelling.

  • Digitized and adapted the old historical maps, aligning it with the modern city layout

  • Collected, cleaned, and structured historical data for accurate geolocation and display

  • Built an interactive map featuring detailed information about landmarks, buildings, and institutions, powered by the ArcGIS ESRI system

The result is a digital experience where history meets technology — allowing users to explore Kyiv’s heritage in an interactive and visually immersive way.

InterActive Map

Interactive Online Map – The Core of the Platform

At the heart of the Kyiv interactive web platform lies the online map, which brings the city’s history to life.

  • Buildings, institutions, and historical sites are displayed as markers of different types and colors

  • Each marker is clickable, providing access to detailed information from the project’s database

  • The old historical map of Kyiv was digitized, warped, and added as a dedicated layer alongside the modern city map

The result is an immersive tool that combines geography, history, and technology in a single interactive experience.
