Abstract: The study aims to characterize the main trends in the urbanization of Ukrainian culture within the context of contemporary globalization transformations. The PRISMA methodological approach was employed to collect literature and research materials, involving a rigorous selection of academic sources through a screening process. Strict criteria were applied for the inclusion of sources relating to content, methodology, language, and time of publication. A total of 60 academic sources were selected. The results present the vital historical milestones of Ukrainian cultural urbanization, identify the impact of globalization on the contemporary process of urbanization in Ukrainian culture, and describe the influence of the war on these processes. It is noted that, as of 2024, 2,093 cultural sites have been damaged or destroyed due to Russian aggression. The conclusions summarize that urban culture in Ukraine has key features of evolution: multiculturalism, the presence of the Ukrainian element, prolonged Russification, and architectural and artistic development.
