Impact of construction activities on the environment of cities

Abstract

Methods of reducing damage to the environment during construction, territorial planning, as well as measures for the improvement of territories aimed at its restoration are considered. The environmental problems of a large city and the assessment of the impact of urban planning objects on the environment have been studied in detail. The paper shows the need to revise the traditional principles of the formation of the urban framework. The paper rightly notes that if earlier much attention was paid to the formation of a technogenic framework of the city – a life support system consisting of transport and engineering infrastructures of the city, today the formation of the ecological framework of the city is becoming increasingly important. The high importance of the ecological (water-green) frame of the city as a system is determined by the fact that water bodies and adjacent territories, “green open” spaces can significantly affect the quality and state of the urban environment, and with careful thought-out, the formation of the ecological frame will help to ensure the integrity of the entire natural and technical urban system.
