One of the fundamental principle of the biosphere compatibility conception of cities and settlements is the principle of inhabitants' satisfaction of rational needs. The most vulnerable group of the city population is invalids, people with carriages, children, who are refered to the disabled population, so these are people, who move and get services and information with difficulties. It is important, that the number of the disabled population grows stably in the recent period. That is why the creation of the comfortable conditions for the disabled population is the main aim of the contemporaneity. During the last 15-20 years the attempts of drawing the disabled population in all the living sphere were undertaken more than once. But nowadays the problem of restriction possibility of disabled oopulation is relevant. "Charity" is the function of the city which reflects the disabled population's extent of satisfactions needs. "Charity" , which takes the main place among all the functions of the settlements , is not fulfilled practically on the territory of the modern cities and settlements. There is an evatuation of the function realization of "Charity" city in the aticle. The function were taken up the territory of the dwelling microdistrict of Kursk city. Also the results of the analysis have been made, the proposals have been shown and directed to solve the problem of the providing the disabled population with the convenience of the city life.

The article discusses modern and promising approaches to the introduction of their digital counterparts into the practice of modern cities. Based on the analysis of modern threats, conclusions are drawn about the need to improve the system of protecting the population of cities from various kinds of dangers. One of the directions in creating a system for preventing and minimizing threats, the authors highlight the prospect of creating and implementing digital twin cities. A brief historical and international analysis of the development of technologies for the creation and functioning of digital twin cities is carried out and recommendations are made on the legal support of the process of introducing digital twin cities in the process of developing cities of the future.

The artisan is a representative of Mexican culture, his techniques for making handicrafts passed down from generation to generation and their craftsmanship tells the story of his past. Over the years, they have become a vulnerable group, since their only livelihood is the creation of handicrafts, in many cases devalued. This project is focused on a specific artisan community that is concentrated in the Indigenous Craft Development Center (in its Spanish acronym, CEDAI) located in the city of Querétaro, Mexico whose intervention is pertinent since, despite being a fixed point of sale, the influx of this space is low, indicative of reduced sales. The objective of this work is the design of a parklet outside of the CEDAI making use of social methodologies to provoke a greater influx of people. Constructivism and phenomenology being the pillars of the project, and the Design thinking as the development guide which suggests the steps to carry out the product design. This work is an example of how the use of social methodologies in conjunction with design methodologies are the guide for the construction of urban elements that are sustainable.

Summary Klaipėda is losing economically active, educated people due to migration, therefore the port city is characterized by “brain drain”. In addition, Klaipėda city population is rapidly aging. Due to the lack of labour resources and their quality, further economic and social development of the city becomes problematic.The largest proportion of young people who come to live in Klaipėda is from Klaipėda County (40.8 %), Tauragė County (36 %) and Telšiai County (23.2 %). According to the survey of young population originating from Klaipėda city and Western Lithuania, their perspectives and opportunities in Klaipėda were determined. More than half of pupils of the port city think that Klaipėda is attractive and as many as 42.6 % of them plan to live in the port city. If the aim is to keep young people in Klaipėda, they must be included in the port city life. There must be enough jobs in the city for people with different levels of education. There is also a need for more cultural events that are affordable not only for high-income people but also for pupils or young people who are starting their lives in the city. In addition, it is important that the city is safe to live, study and work. Keywords: youth, Klaipėda city, attractiveness.

Film Unyil puppet comes not just part of the entertainment world that can be enjoyed by people from the side of the story, music, and dialogue. However, there is more value in it which is a manifestation of the creator that can be absorbed into the charge for the benefit of educating the children of Indonesia to the public at large. The Unyil puppet created by the father of Drs. Suyadi is one of the works that are now widely known by the whole people of Indonesia. The process of creating a puppet Unyil done with simple materials and formation of character especially adapted to the realities of the existing rural region. Through this process, this research leads to the design process is fundamentally educational puppet inspired by the creation of Si Unyil puppet. The difference is the inspiring character created in this study is on the characters that exist in urban life, especially the city of Jakarta. Thus the results of this study are the pattern of how to shape the design of products through the creation of the puppet with the approach of urban culture.

This paper explores a renewed problematization of contemporary metropolises' dynamics in the light of speci fic efforts to reclaim the city as commons. Building on Lefebvre's theorizations of the city's virtuality and comparing it to contemporary approaches to the urban condition that emphasize the potentialities of contemporary city-life, it suggests that urban commoning is unleashing the power of collective creativity and collaboration. Struggles to appropriate the city as a crucial milieu for sharing transforms parts of city and produces new patterns of urban living. Examples from Latin American urban movements focused on establishing emancipatory housing conditions are used to illustrate the transformative capabilities of urban commoning.

This paper questions the ‘seeing like a city’ vs. ‘seeing like a state’ opposition through a detailed discussion of urban politics in the city of Paris, France, a prime example of the ways in which the national remains a driving dimension of city life. This claim is examined by a consideration of the shortcomings of Paris’s recent and timid commitment local democracy, lacking recognition of the diversity of its citizens, and the ways in which the inclusion of more women in decision-making arenas has failed to advance the ‘feminization of politics’. A common factor in these defining features of the Hidalgo administration seems to be the prevalence of ‘femonationalism’ and its influence over municipal policy-making.

The air quality of modern cities is considered an important factor for the quality of life of humans and therefore is being safeguarded by various international organizations, concentrating on the mass concentration of particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10, 2.5 and 1 μm. However, the different physical and anthropogenic processes and activities within the city contribute to the rise of fine (<1 μm) and coarse (>1 μm) particles, directly impacting human health and the environment. In order to monitor certain natural and anthropogenic events, suspecting their significant contribution to PM concentrations, seven different events taking place on the coastal front of the city of Limassol (Cyprus) were on-site monitored using a portable PM instrument; these included both natural (e.g., dust event) and anthropogenic (e.g., cement factory, meat festival, tall building construction, tire factory, traffic jam, dust road) emissions taking place in spring and summer periods. The violations of the limits that were noticed were attributed mainly to the various anthropogenic activities taking place on-site, revealing once more the need for further research and continuous monitoring of air quality.
