Techniques for the formation of the natural and ecological framework of riverine cities (on the example of Rostov-on-Don)

Abstract

The article deals with the formation of the landscape of the territories of riverine towns in time and space. Special attention is paid to the formation of the natural and ecological framework of the riverine city and its elements that contribute to the sustainable development of its territories, as well as the creation of comfortable living conditions for the population. The use of methods of an integrated approach in combination with elements of factorial and system analysis required consideration of various aspects in this work. On the example of the city of Rostov-on-Don, the main historical stages of the development of the city territory are presented, taking into account the peculiarities of its natural landscape. The landscape of the territories contributed to the development of settlements from isolated dotted ones to their linear fusion along the water area and their transformation into large urban formations with a complex ecological situation. The current situation is due to a number of mistakes made, including urban planning. In order to create a comfortable urban environment, a developed conceptual model of the natural and ecological framework of the city of Rostov-on-Don with a spatial structure and vertical tiering is presented. Recommendations have been developed for the restoration and formation of sustainable development of the territories of riverine cities by transforming their landscape structure as a whole, as well as the creation of urban landscape parks in order to improve the comfort of the environment for the population to live.
