Problems of Formation of Architectural and Spatial Composition Organization of the Environment of Donbas Mono City

Abstract

One of the city-forming factors for the development of the Donbas region is the creation of large full-cycle industrial complexes situated together as a group of several related industries. It allowed for the efficient use of urban lands and opened up wide range of opportunities for achievement of technological, compositional and spatial unity of industrial complexes. During industrial cities development, the residential districts was formed as large industrial complexes expanded. The historic centers of industrial cities are characterized by the grouping of cultural heritage sites around individual (usually the most powerful) industrial enterprises, most often coal mines, metallurgical and coke-chemical enterprises. The most advanced city planning ideas of the 20-50’s were fully reflected in the planning structure and features of construction of industrial cities of Donbas. Many preserved and partially lost monuments of industrial architecture, as well as those that can claim such a status, are objects of protection of historical and cultural heritage, characteristic of the industrial type of cities. There are a number of specific problems inherent to cities of different categories. The major ones are those caused by significant discrepancy between the real state of the urban environment and its required state. Finding solutions to problems of corporate cities requires a multifaceted approach, as the prerequisites and characteristics of different cities can vary greatly due to historical and economic factors. Therefore, approaches to addressing the issue of corporate cities should be considered individually, considering global trends and regional peculiarities of individual regions.
