Abstract
Growth of population affects the increase in demand for development of new areas. The article discusses current problems and trends in the development of vertical cities of the future. The last decade has seen the consolidation of the urban environment and the transition of urban planning from horizontal to vertical. The structure of future vertical cities minimizes land use and contributes to solving environmental problems and de-urbanization. The authors analyze the origin of «utopia» word and its meaning in the concepts of utopian cities since ancient times. The formation of a comfortable vertical city is a utopia aimed at turning it into the reality of the future. A general analysis of space-planning and architectural solutions of modern concepts helped to formulate the basic principles of creating a vertical city. The identified criteria of the architectural space will allow humanity to live in a comfortable environment, including the period of forced critical conditions. During the research, we presented a hypothesis of the emergence of vertical cities in the world and in Russia. The study can become the basis for forecasting the processes of urbanization and deurbanization, also as a concept creation for the development of a sustainable model of the future vertical city.
Highlights
The problem of overpopulation and increasing population density in cities is relevant in the last decade
- Sustainable urbanism is an integral part in creating future paradigms of vertical cities [1]
It is important to create the paths for the development of a future vertical city and take into account many influence factors [22]
Summary
The problem of overpopulation and increasing population density in cities is relevant in the last decade. Large cities need to adapt to the rapid pace of land development. Nature is losing the war against urbanization, this affects climate change, the purity of air, water resources, soils and, in general, the violation of the ecological state of the environment [1]. The psychological aggravation of all spheres of human life led to isolation, to the limitation of life processes, to the desire to create a more reliable and comfortable living environment around oneself in the 2020 pandemic [2]. The restructuring of the priorities of mass services is taking place on new values: safety, longevity, comfort, ecological environment, culture, reduction of global risks and active visual perception of the environment by humans. Massive development of «consumer» planning creates uncomfortable, unsafe and unhealthy cities
