The Main Directions and Principles of Renovation of the Far Eastern Seaside Cities’ Public Spaces

Abstract

The existing state of the Far Eastern sea cities’ public spaces is characterized by shortcomings and contradictions. Further development of coastal cities requires the development of a scientifically based methodology for the environment’s reconstruction with the aim of developing and improving of public spaces’ system. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive analysis and systematic approach to the problem of forming an effective system of public spaces in the city. An integrated approach provides an effective social and functional reorganization and architectural and artistic improvement of the city’s public space system. The conducted studies allow us to formulate the main directions and principles of the existing system of the Far Eastern sea cities’ public spaces’ reconstruction. The principles and methods formulated in the work were tested during the development of experimental projects’ series for the renovation of public spaces in the city of Vladivostok. Design developments and practical implementation have shown the effectiveness of the basic principles and methodology of the Far Eastern sea cities’ public spaces’ renovating.
