The article discusses the role of the social context in the evolution of implemented urban development utopia. The ontological and morphostructural problems of one of the implemented urban development utopias on the example of the city of Togliatti are revealed. It was established that the general plan of the Avtozavodsky district of Tolyatti, which fully met the ideals of the Athenian Charter, came into conflict with the idea of the city as a concentrated environment. It is noted that modern Togliatti is in search of a solution to the problem of the integrity of the urban structure. The conclusion is drawn: overcoming the crisis state of Togliatti lies in the field of generating, including new utopias; integration of existing morphostructures; reinforcing redundant conceptuality of form with contextual content. A new morphological unit is proposed - this is macro frame, which is based on multilevel integration of traffic and pedestrian flows.

In the context of an expanding economy around the so-called creative industries, many cities are searching for theoretical models to guide urban development. Theoretical models from early post-modernists are being regularly re-examined, in part, because of their relevance to models for the contemporary city. This paper investigates situationist theory as a lens through which to explore alternative pockets of culture. Using situationist theory as a lens to observe the culture of the New Zealand bach, or the myth that it left behind, this paper exposes the paradox of bach culture as an urban model: the paradox of institutionalising a creative culture of resistance and of escaping the city only to find oneself at its centre.

The urban reconstruction nowadays is a future of a modern city. The subject of the urban reconstruction is primarily the historical nucleus of the city, as the most attractive urban unit and the city growth generator. That is why the issue of urban reconstruction of the central city area is extremely important. The city nucleus of Nis has undergone numerous transformations during its development from the fortified city, to the town with Oriental characteristics, to the modern city center of the polycentric city. Reconstruction of Nis as a medium-sized city, with the significant role in the system of Serbian center network, is the issue of the strategic importance for the economic development of the country. Considering the cultural and style diversity of the Nis center, the issue of its urban reconstruction is a very complex procedure. The application of the various methods of urban reconstruction, which have been used in the past decade, is demonstrated on three analyzed examples in the central city area of Nis. These methods have been selected in order to activate, improve and revive the central city area. The paper describes the regeneration principles of these areas and investigates whether they are similar to the current trends in the world.

This research aimed to analyze the effectiveness or not of the application of progressive IPTU (Urban property and land tax) over time in the implementation of sustainable urban development. This is a bibliographic research, made from primary and secondary sources, such as the Federal Constitution of 1988, the infra-constitutional legislation, jurisprudences and bibliographies relevant to the subject matter. With this, paths were taken that lead to the possibility of such an instrument of urban policy being considered a tribute with environmentally sustainable purposes capable of achieving sustainable urban development. In view of the legislative, doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis, its ineffectiveness of application was revealed, realizing the need for regulation and application consistent with the constitutional normative system and the City Statute, as well as structural support and capitation of civil servants, in addition to greater social participation in its control.

Urban Revolution Of Paris’s Île De La Cité In The 19th Century Urban changes in Paris taking place in the time of the second Empire were generally viewed as positive. First of all, they solved the problem of old, non-hygienic, overpopulated, and dirty districts of the city and enabled the police to control the area in case of revolutionary movements. Moreover, they created the possibility of placing central, most important offices in prestigious locations, which added authority and splendor to them. As a result, the center of Paris became hygienic, utilitarian, safe and representative. However, these positive aspects of urban changes introduced under Napoleon III soon received severe criticism. The location of the Cité and the island on which it was located proved to be a curse for its urban development. Seeking to squeeze as many monumental governmental objects as possible on a small area resulted in almost complete destruction of the mediaeval urban structure of the district. The urban revolution which changed the Cité became a dramatic symbol of the authoritarian power of the Second Empire.

Проделанный анализ поможет проектировщикам в решении задач улучшения архитектурного качества среды новых жилых районов г. Воронежа. Результаты. На примере деятельности ведущей строительной организации Воронежа анализируются недостатки реализации градостроительных объектов и рассматриваются пути их решения. В результате рассмотрения и анализа ряда реализованных объектов и объекта, намеченного к строительству, предлагаются пути улучшения архитектурно-художественного образа новых районов с учетом особенностей сложившейся городской среды Воронежа и современных тенденций передового градостроительства. Выводы. Поскольку любой застройщик заинтересован прежде всего в экономической выгоде строительства, он не может защищать интересы и потребности горожан, следовать историческим традициям города. Следовательно, на первых стадиях проектирования работы должны выполняться на конкурсной основе по заказу муниципальных властей, даже если застройщик является собственником участка, предназначенного под строительство. Лучший проект должен выставляться на торги среди застройщиков, обеспечивая победителю право строительства на данной территории. Statement of the problem.
