ON THE FORMATION AND FUNCTIONING OF SUBURBAN ZONES IN THE ZONE OF INFLUENCE OF A BIG CITY

Abstract

The formation and functioning of suburban areas in the zone of influence of a large city is investigated. A number of issues have been identified that require further research, in particular the definition of the essence of the concept of “suburban zone”, the definitions of the suburban zone and the definition of its boundaries. The proposals for planning the territory of the suburban zone in the zone of influence of a large city are formulated, which is associated with the formation of the attractiveness of the suburban zone for the population of large cities. The processes of development of suburban areas are not only a global trend in the development of urban planning systems, but also a cry for environmental safety, environmental protection, and the solution of a number of social, transport and economic problems in the development of large megacities. All these issues are considered in the article and ways to ensure the solution of these issues in the conditions of the development of suburban areas, as territories that can provide attractiveness for the population while ensuring socio-economic and urban development infrastructure, are identified.
