Theoretical and Methodological Problems of Improvement of Design and Town-Planning Activity

Abstract

The multiplicity of subjects of urban development, which are characterized by different, sometimes conflicting interests, leaves its mark on the effectiveness of design solutions and the possibility of their implementation in the planned time. However, the duration of conciliation procedures of project documents, which distinguishes the modern stage of development of design and urban development activities and includes the processes of linking design decisions with regulatory requirements controlled by Supervisory authorities, Executive state bodies and local governments, as well as the process of public analysis of proposals by interested parties-all this reduces the overall efficiency of urban development. The solution of this problem is associated with the completeness and reliability of the initial data, their digital spatial "binding" and the distribution in the hierarchical structure of functionally different spatial cells that make up all types of objects of urban development, which objectively leads to the need to improve the methodological base of urban design activities in terms of the formation of an automated system of integration of documents of territorial planning, urban zoning and planning of territories. An approach to the definition of any urban object as a spatial cell of the corresponding size and the corresponding spatial and functional content is proposed. An important consequence of the considered approach will be the possibility of turning quite formal documents of territorial planning, urban zoning and planning of territories into justifying and calculating materials of income and expenditure parts of budgets of various levels.
