List of cities in Chernivtsi Oblast explained

There are 11 populated places in Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine, that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian: місто|misto) by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament.[1] Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible for city status although the status is typically also granted to settlements of historical or regional importance.[2] [3] [4] As of 5 December 2001, the date of the first and only official census in the country since independence, the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital Chernivtsi, with a population of 240,621 people, while the least populous city was Hertsa, with a population of 2,068 people.[5] The Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans, a historical building complex recognized as one of Ukraine's eight World Heritage Sites and currently serving as part of Chernivtsi University, is located in Chernivtsi.[6]

From independence in 1991 until 2020, two cities in the oblast were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the oblast's remaining nine cities were located amongst 11 raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions.[7] [8] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into three new, expanded raions.[9] The three raions that make up the oblast are Chernivtsi, Dnistrovskyi, and Vyzhnytsia.[10]
