A city of district significance (Ukrainian: місто районного значення, misto raionnoho znachennia) is a special category of city municipalities within each of the rural raions (districts) of Ukraine's first-level of administrative divisions. These cities are subordinate to the raion authorities and derive their powers from them. The KOATUU national classification system refers to them as the third-level of the country's administrative divisions.[4][5] As of 2015[update], there are 276 cities of district significance in Ukraine.[6]
Cities of district significance are automatically considered as "small cities", a status which is recognized by a few normative acts of the Verkhovna Rada.[7] Ukrainian law designates these places with populations of up to 50,000. In 2008, the average population of a city of district significance was 13,400.[8] Small cities can belong to one of several specific economic categories, often having a regional transportation significance, important local industry, or an important historical or tourist attraction.[7]
As of 2015[update], 63 of the 276 cities of district significance are members of the Association of Small Cities of Ukraine,[9] a public organization that was registered in 2011 to recognize the common issues of small cities in general and to further promote their development.[10]
