The relevance of research is reflected in the increasing importance of the social approach to design, due to the formation of the information society, the importance of analysing consumer behaviour of the population in terms of changes in value orientations and lifestyles, cultural attitudes as a result of economic transformations that have had a significant impact on consumer behaviour. The involvement of residents in the development of prospects for the development of residential areas improves the quality of urban documentation, as it forms targets for its implementation; taking into account requests based on the satisfaction of Moscow’s living conditions and the comfort of the urban environment.
Materials and methods. In carrying out the study, methods of field survey (collection of information on territory, population, built environment, state of the property) and systematic, typological, functional and structural analysis were applied. The sociological survey of the population was carried out by means of an online questionnaire, analysis and synthesis of the results and comparison with official statistics.
Results. The study was carried out in 25 districts of Moscow (Northern Administrative Okrug, North-Western Administrative Okrug and Zelenogradsky Administrative Okrug): the territorial organization of social infrastructure facilities was analysed, the quality of the living environment within municipalities was assessed. A lack of facilities has been identified. The prospects for the development of social infrastructure have been determined taking into account the views of the inhabitants of the districts.
Conclusions. The study provided a unique tool for identifying emerging imbalances in the development of social infrastructure, as well as effective urban planning of a cohesive urban environment, based on both normative calculations and population estimates. In order to objectively assess social development and to compile a ranking of districts according to the level of social infrastructure development, the following have been developed: index of population’s social infrastructure, index of diversity of facilities, integral index of social infrastructure development.
