Safety of a Barrier-Free Architectural and Planning Environment for Low Mobile Populations as a Subject of Construction Education

Abstract

The article discusses one of the most important problems of present-day urbanism. The security problems of the urban architectural and planning space are of interest to both representatives of different areas of knowledge, and architects embodying theoretical developments in practice. That is why the proposed paper analyzes the steps taken by municipal authorities and construction organizations in Russian megalopolises, to organize a safe architectural and planning environment for low mobile populations. In order for social programs to improve the living conditions of disabled people and other categories of low mobile populations in urbanized areas to be implemented, it is necessary to train civil engineers, transport engineers and architects in urban planning to meet the needs of all citizens. The paper justifies the position that the training of the organization of a barrier-free architectural and planning environment should be a priority for modern Russian construction education. The paper emphasizes that there is a legal aspect of the problem associated with the protection of the social rights of disabled workers. It emphasizes the need to overcome contradictions between different groups of urban population, as well as the need to take into account the environmental trends of modern world urban planning. In particular, the urban development of the famous modern Danish architect Jan Gehl, head of Gehl Architects, currently operating in the Russian Federation, in cities in the Moscow region, is associated with the organization of a safe environment for all categories of urban residents.
