Abstract

The article deals with the influence of the all-system principle of compactness in development of the city’s functional and spatial structural framework and in particular the system of urban environment’s multifunctional communication knots. The tendency of transition from monocentric to polycentric placement of town-planning focuses is stated in details. The dependence of the system’s general purpose’s effective realization – satisfaction of all modern society’s requirements with minimization of expenses – from reduction of its communication component is stated in the article as well.

Highlights

The article deals with the influence of the all-system principle of compactness in development of the city’s functional and spatial structural framework and in particular the system of urban environment’s multifunctional communication knots
In order to consider the influence of the modern society characteristics on a tendency of town-planning objects formation the system of multifunctional communication knots of the urban environment was chosen
It is important to note that along with other compound components of an urban environment, the intensification of all their functional processes is natural for Multifunctional Communication Knot (MCK)

Summary

Introduction

The article deals with the influence of the all-system principle of compactness in development of the city’s functional and spatial structural framework and in particular the system of urban environment’s multifunctional communication knots. Leading town-planning theorists were one of the first in the scientific world to indicate the need for creation of such an environment of activity that would be capable to satisfy all modern society’s requirements to which such lines as “the increased mobility, information sociability, aspiration to more difficult and various types of work, to more differentiated communications and to pastime intellectualization” [1, 24p] are natural.
