STRATEGY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE URBAN WATERFRONT AREAS

Abstract

The article describes a systematic approach to the urban planning organization of riverside areas. It includes complex environmental and recreational tasks, issues of surface runoff management within the catchment area, protection of territories from flooding and inundation. They can be implemented by means of a landscape approach and corresponding planning documents.
 The landscape approach presented in the article can be used as a methodological basis for theoretical, as well as design and spatial modeling of waterfront buildings at the stage of their construction or reconstruction.
 The article presents a strategy for renovation in the riverside area: improvement of water protection functions; rehabilitation of disturbed territories; the use of recreational and urban planning potential of such territories for creating a recreational framework on the waterfront; integration of eco-clusters into the structure of riverside territories and the development of an integrated management system for waterfront zones.
 The article considers the possibility of creating a recreational cluster, which will ensure certain continuity of natural framework, regarding its multi-vector formation in the urban space. This connection of the recreational cluster with the suburban green belt and water area, will allow establishing a pedestrian and recreational framework inside and outside the city. It is established that the introduction of a recreational cluster in the structure of the riverside area will contribute to the greening of the city, and will affect the modeling of ecological infrastructure.
 The article presents a graphic material illustrating the formation of recreational framework of Dnipro city and provides the schemes for the riverside transformation strategy in different parts of the city embankments.
