Abstract. Architects and urban planners in the process of designing residential areas use building codes that consider the comfort of living only in terms of safety, sanitation and environmental performance. This article highlights the problem of taking into account a number of additional social parameters of comfort that affect the characteristics of living comfort. The structure of a comprehensive analysis of housing is formed by assessing the elements of living comfort. The presented research algorithm includes the consistent use of methods of sociological survey, evaluation and modeling. Having identified socio-psychological factors of comfort of a residential district at different levels of urban assessment (in the context of location in the city system, formation of the surrounding area, spatial and architectural-planning level), 3 residential development projects of Ivano-Frankivsk were assessed. For a comparative analysis, the architectural and planning solutions of residential quarters "Lemkivsky", "Club town 12", "Vidensky" were used, the construction of which began in 2017. This took into account not only the quantitative technical and economic indicators of individual elements of the project, but also qualitative indicators, the measurement of which in normal conditions is a resource-intensive process. As a result of the analysis and the carried-out estimation the graphic model of the complex analysis of a residential quarter is formed that allows to carry out comparison of various design decisions irrespective of size of a site of quantity of housing sections, etc. Using the method of movement to the ideal, a comprehensive analysis of various residential complexes was carried out. The obtained results allow, both at the stage of designing residential neighborhoods and the analysis of operated facilities to assess them in accordance with the needs of people, as well as to balance the indicators of comfort by applying the proposed architectural and planning techniques.

Constant population growth in urban areas is one of the main global problems, and its importance grows with the depletion of non-renewable resources. The efficient, effective and responsible use of land is supposed to be an aim, the achievement of which will profit cities. The crucial question is, how cities can achieve this aim. The author of this article intends to discuss the individual problems which prevent achieving an appropriate density in Warsaw, and find ways of solving or reducing these problems. A proposed main hypothesis is, that the introduction of an alternative type of housing, namely co-housing can become a way to obtain a good density in the cities. Confirmation of this hypothesis is derived on the basis of the analysis of residential estates created following the rules of co-housing developed in Germany, in relation to similar problems. The purpose of the article was also to remind that Warsaw has a rich tradition in creating social efforts developments. The main social ideas was presented on the basic of the project of Polish housing estate designed in the Rakowiec district in Warsaw by H. and Sz. Syrkus, which was established in 1934-1938 The research part of the article was conducted through a comparison of spatial elements of Warsaw, employing the same criteria, which were adopted based on the several, selected characteristics of good density published in the ULI report, such as: mixed use of land, planned, cohesive, liveable, spacious, flexibility, design, green. The conducted comparison demonstrates, that Warsaw has a lot of different problems with obtaining a good density. These are: mono-functional areas in the suburbs, social disparity, the housing market dominated by developers, lack of enough, well-arranged public spaces combined with residential areas, lack of identity neighborhoods, insufficient attention to the local context in the process of designing new buildings, insufficient attention to the environment in terms of creation of buildings, too little green spaces and gardens in the inner city. The presented analyses show that the introducing concept of co-housing can help Warsaw with obtaining a good density. In order to obtain a high quality of the urban space, decisions regarding it should therefore be made simultaneously on three scales: spatial planning, urban planning and architectural planning. Architecture must cooperate with the existing urban fabric. All users of urban life should participate in its creation: development companies, municipal authorities that are responsible for spatial order, architects and residents.

A city is a structure that is constantly changing with time. In residential neighbourhoods, renewal projects receive a lot of attention is terms of modernisation of open spaces as well as the aesthetic quality of architectural planning. Reorganisation of spaces for leisure and recreation became necessary because of declining aesthetic, ecological and economical conditions. In most cases, this is one of the factors that influence emigration to other countries and internal migration to city edges and to the former collective garden areas. As a result, a residential neighbourhood in a city serves only as a temporal “station”, which unfortunately fails to ensure a safe social environment. Negative urban factors demand for adjustments in existing political, legal and financial documents that regulate the renewal and development of residential housing estates. The main analysed problem – the tendency pertaining to development of public spaces and existing renewal opportunities in residential neighbourhoods. The article deals with the main directions, features and aspirations related to formation of public spaces in residential areas, on the basis of a particular residential neighbourhood complex urban structure study and the project as an example. Santrauka Miestas yra nuolat kintanti laiko požiūriu struktūra. Dabartiniu metu vis didesnis dėmesys gyvenamųjų rajonų ir kvartalų atnaujinimo projektuose skiriamas atvirų erdvių modernizacijai, estetinei architektūrinio planavimo kokybei. Erdvių, skirtų gyventojų laisvalaikiui ir rekreacijai, pertvarkymas tapo būtinas dėl prastėjančių gyvenamosios aplinkos sąlygų: estetinių, ekologinių, ekonominių. Daugeliu atvejų tai yra vienas iš veiksnių, lemiančių gyventojų emigraciją į kitas šalis bei vidinę migraciją į miestų pakraščius bei buvusių kolektyvinių sodų teritorijas. Gyvenamasis kvartalas mieste tampa jų laikina, „tarpine stotele“ su ne visada saugia socialine terpe. Nauji veiksniai lemia būtinybę koreguoti šalyje veikiančius dokumentus, reglamentuojančius gyvenamųjų namų kvartalų atnaujinimą ir plėtrą. Pagrindinė analizuojama problema – viešųjų erdvių plėtojimo tendencijos ir egzistuojančios galimybės atnaujinamuose gyvenamųjų namų kvartaluose iš esmės pagerinti gyventojų rekreacijos, aplinkos kokybės sąlygas. Straipsnyje aptariamos gyvenamojo rajono viešųjų erdvių formavimo pagrindinės kryptys, ypatumai ir siekiamybės, remiantis konkretaus Lieporių gyvenamojo rajono Šiauliuose kompleksinio urbanistinės struktūros tyrimo ir projekto pavyzdžiu.

Orange County, California, is a “postsuburban” region known for its sprawl and its cultural homogeneity. There, Vietnamese Americans have established a large commercial and residential district clearly marked by freeway signs, recognized by city government, and labeled the “Capital of Vietnamese America.” On the other hand, in Boston, Massachusetts, an old city known for its neighborhoods teeming with immigrants, Vietnamese Americans have had difficulty in establishing a distinct and identifiable place. Bostonians who are not Vietnamese may not know that Fields Corner is the city's “Vietnamese village.” Since Boston's Chinatown also contains Vietnamese, the distinction between Fields Corner and Chinatown can be blurry. Could it be that each community actually reverses the dynamics of place in each region—creating a strong, central place in a culturally homogenous and spatially decentralized post‐suburb, but failing to create a very strong place in an old city reputed for its immigrant neighborhoods? If so, a paradox appears. I identify the patterns involving community and place that have produced paradoxical outcomes in Orange County and Boston. I show that Vietnamese American leaders use place—as a site for interaction, as an anchor for identity, and as a symbol of belonging—to define and strengthen their communities. I argue that part of “becoming American” requires “staying Vietnamese,” and that place making is key to this process.
