The political factor affected all stages of development and during the foundation of the Ivano-Frankivsk region cities. With the change of power, style concepts changed manifested in the decoration of facades and their decor. The artistic features of the renewal of the architectural environment largely depended on the guidelines of the ruling elite. Accordingly, the architectural environment of the cities of the Ivano-Frankivsk region developed under the cultural and artistic influences of Poland (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Soviet Union. Over the past decades, the influence of the political factor has been declining as a result of globalization, openness, accessibility and the revival of personal freedom of users, their tastes, and worldview. During the year, as a result of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, the political factor of urban development has been intensifying with renewed vigour, as issues of rebuilding particular fragments of the urban architectural environment have arisen, as well as the problem of the feasibility of adopting architectural solutions for defence construction from countries with military experience has become more relevant. The change in political relations causes a transformation of ideas related to architectural forms.
