Abstract

The article deals with one of the most significant problem of urban planning, design and development in its contemporary state-i.e. with creation of social, sport and cultural facilities for all groups of inhabitants within a certain urban territory. It is noted, that the traditional solution of this problem, experienced for the time being in the world is creation of so-called «Community Centers» within a certain planning territory of a city, which is usually choosen to be «a community». The multifactorial analysis shows, that the best way is to design Multifunctional Centers, instead of Community Centers of single functional role. It is noted, that Multifunctional Community Centers are the most generalized type of the buildings in question, being much more efficient.
