Street Formation
Vasylkivskoho Street in Lviv is one of the smaller streets located in the residential development of the city’s eastern part. It took shape during the interwar period, a time when Lviv was actively expanding towards the areas of Novyi Lviv, Pohulianka, and Snopkiv. The street’s formation is associated with the planned development of the suburbs in the 1920s–1930s, when new neighborhoods emerged featuring predominantly one- and two-story detached houses.
The street received its current name during the Soviet era, in honor of Hryhorii Vasylkivskyi (1854–1917) — a renowned Ukrainian painter, known for his landscapes and historical themes, who played a significant role in the development of national art. The street’s name is part of a broader cultural narrative in the urban space, shaped by the commemoration of Ukrainian artists, scholars, and public figures.
In terms of planning structure, Vasylkivskoho Street functions as a local access road connecting residential plots, without serving as a major thoroughfare. Its spatial character preserves features of a pre-war suburban area, complemented by later Soviet and modern low-rise housing.
