Slavutych

Slavutych is a planned city in northern Ukraine, built from 1986 to house the evacuated workers of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and their families after the 1986 disaster near Pripyat. It stands on the left bank of the Dnieper River, about 40 kilometers from Chernihiv and 200 kilometers from Kyiv. Geographically it lies in Chernihiv Raion, yet it is administratively subordinated to Kyiv Oblast as part of Vyshhorod Raion, which makes it an administrative exclave. The first residents settled in October 1988. Architects and builders from eight Soviet republics each shaped a district, giving the city a varied modernist character. Its population was 24,464 in 2021, and it is described as having the lowest average age of any city in Ukraine.
