Peresyp

Peresyp is a district in Odesa, Ukraine, that runs along a narrow strip of land between two lagoons and the Black Sea. Residential blocks alternate here with industrial facilities, warehouses and small commercial zones.

Cossacks established a settlement here after 1709 that remained separate from the rest of the city for many years. The opening of an agricultural equipment factory in 1854 brought new housing for workers.

The name refers to the sandbank that once separated two large lagoons from the sea and later shaped the form of the neighborhood. Small workshops and businesses still line the streets today, showing the local connection to production.

The area is served by several tram and bus lines that run from the city center. Visitors interested in industrial architecture will find factory buildings from different decades along the main streets.

The location on a natural barrier between sea and lagoons gave the neighborhood an unusual linear shape. For decades, factories and housing grew side by side along this narrow strip.
