Saltivka

Saltivka (Ukrainian: Салтiвка) is a large residential area located in the northeastern region of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine.

It is sometimes called the Saltivskyi Masyv, as it realizes a soviet urban planning concept which consist of several different neighborhoods with similar architectural design.

[1] Despite its reputation as a deprived residential area with outdated and dilapidated housing, more than a third of Kharkiv's total population resides within its boundaries.

Saltivka was conceived from the start as a purely residential neighborhood according to the Soviet concept of creating so-called sleeping districts in large industrial cities.

The neighborhood includes one of the largest warehouse markets in Ukraine near the Akademika Barabashova station of the Kharkiv metro.
