Abstract

The COVID 19 pandemic, which has been ongoing for the second year, and its dynamics have a direct impact on the livelihoods of people in general and requires an update of the trends of mass housing construction in Russia that have developed in recent decades. The dynamics of housing construction in 2020 was characterized by a decrease in the commissioning of new housing, up to May, and an increase, starting from June. The trends of recent decades have focused on the high-density construction of residential buildings with predominantly small-sized apartments in the sector of mass residential development. And, as a result, there is a high concentration of the population in these areas. A distinctive feature of modern housing construction is the focus on closed modu- lar quarter complexes with individual courtyard areas, limited solely in the interests of residents. Modern trends in the planning of public spaces of the living environment are mostly focused on the massive one-to-one stay of people, which also leads to their high concentration in a limited space. The need for distance and self-isolation requires the opposite, i.e. a specific distance and “discharging” the localization of people in a certain space, which to a certain extent contradicts the current trends of residential complexes in the city. In addition, in connection with the restrictions on transport and pedestrian movement in a pandemic, the functional load on the local level increases. The pandemic itself leads to the formation of a tendency to localize people. To ensure the functioning of enterprises and the life of people, the number of people wor- king at home is increasing, local groups of daytime stay of children are being formed, the conditions of leisure and rest are being revised and reformatted, and remote technologies of social and service services are being developed. Thus, a revision and optimal, fundamentally new solutions are required not only in the field of organizing mass residential development based on the principles of spatial and functional freedom, but also in the mobility and transformability of both objects and residential areas. The normal functio- ning of residential areas requires a correspon- ding transformation of the logistics network and optimization of the operational flows of providing residential complexes and the city as a whole with everything necessary. In a pande- mic, solving these issues can be considered a task of ensuring the economic security of municipalities and the country as a whole.
