The article is devoted to one of the most important issues of urban planning – the coexistence of water bodies and the city. Vulnerability of natural waters in the urban environment is compared to the circulatory system of the human body. For illustrative purpose, the great Leonardo da Vinci, who initiated regional redevelopment using both river resources and human activities, is cited. The status of river ecosystems of the city of Kiev is considered retrospectively. The Dnieper River is the main waterway of Kiev. It is this great European river that gave birth to one of the world’s most beautiful cities – Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The River Dnieper plays an important role in the modern life of the city as well as it did in the ancient times. The article highlights and suggests ways to elaborate environmental problems of the Dnieper River today. The article describes numerous small rivers of Kiev and artificially created lakes of the Opechen system which along with other water areas form a rich water network of Kiev. It emphasizes the contribution of Kiev builders in the creation of new housing estates and the Kiev Venice canal by the method of hydronium which was later introduced in world practice. Most regrettably, the river harbor on the historic river Pochayna and the drinking water source were lost for the people of Kiev in the course of time. The article shows the interrelation of modern factors of anthropogenic load on the water area of Kiev as well as the coexistence of the river and the costal territories. Actions are proposed to preserve ecosystems in accord with the Water Code of Ukraine. Finally, measures are put forward to revival and preservation of reservoirs and their coastal areas. Professional planning of river areas and the establishment of restrictive green lines will help preserve the natural component of the urban body of Kiev.
