Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the virtuality factor influence on the change in modern urban space. The history and evolution of cities from Antiquity to the present is considered, the distinctive features of the urban environment and the living space of townspeople in every era, including our time, are revealed. The author describes what problems urbanists worried about in different historical periods. Actual urban studies are often concerned with issues related to both the change in the appearance of cities under the influence of the virtual environment, and the shift of the main urban functions from political and economic to cultural and tourism, as well as the problems and difficulties associated with this circumstance. The main factor in choosing a place of residence for a person of our era is not the central position of it in the city, but the attractiveness in terms of the quality of life, since, thanks to the possibility of remote work, there is no need to live in a multi-million dollar city with transport and environmental problems. These and other factors are fundamentally changing the appearance of modern cities, forcing them to modify in order to keep up with others in ensuring a high standard of living for their residents. However, it cannot be said that this process does not face certain difficulties and problematic moments.
