The urban planning organization and development of children’s medical institutions in Ukraine are considered in this article based on an analysis of the current state of its largest cities, metropolises. Existing problems are outlined, which are primarily related to the excessive number and specialization of medical facilities (compared to European indicators), duplication within the same territory and physical obsolescence of buildings and equipment for medical purposes. This paper contributes to reviewing the transition of planning approaches as well as proposing a fresh approach to the forming of an urban layout of children’s healthcare institutions that is designed to replace the traditional territorial-administrative approach.
