About this audio guide
This guide to Park Bridge in Kyiv starts on the Dnipro itself, with the island across the water and the seasons that decided how anyone reached it. It follows Trukhaniv Island from its early buildings to the post-war choice about what it should become, and the architect who fought for scarce metal in the nineteen fifties. Best heard at the rail, looking down at the river.
