The work is devoted to the consideration of the concepts of the spatial development of the cities of Ukraine taking into account today's specifics of the formation of institutes of their management. The issues discussed in this article are relevant to almost any city in modern Ukraine at the stage of transition of the country from industrial to post-industrial type. Among the most pressing issues are the rational use of territorial resources and environmental security within urban systems. There is also a trend of uneven economic development in urban areas. The solution to this problem is the balanced development of urban space with a diversified economy and infrastructure, as well as high quality of life. The formation of multifunctional urban areas will ensure sustainable spatial development of the city and significantly affect the quality of life. Identifying areas within the city that are inefficiently used and have additional development potential will provide an important resource, which, unlike remote areas, is already provided with transport and engineering infrastructure. Efficient use of territorial resources will allow the formation of a rational compact planning structure of the city. The housing of high quality should be provided with the necessary social and transport infrastructure, be diverse, medium, and multi-story. Comfortable stay of citizens in public spaces involves the integration of public spaces into the cultural life of the city based on the expansion of existing and introduction of new functional content, including the implementation of commercial initiatives and their use in organizing important socio-cultural projects. A comfortable stay in the city largely depends on the architectural appearance of its historic and modern buildings. Existing buildings create the front line of streets, form the environment of public spaces, define the line of the city silhouette. Filling the existing recreational areas included in the system of public spaces with new meanings to citizens.

Increasing the number of elderly people (9,4 mln people over 60 or 22% of the population of Ukraine), people with disabilities (2,6 mln people – 6% of the population), families with young children, pregnant (4 % of the population) makes to the city, its design and infrastructure new challenges. These groups risk becoming effectively excluded from significant parts of city life, suffering marginalisation, exclusion and isolation. Limiting a city's access to just a part of the population while ignoring a significant other part, is economically, socially and politically unsustainable. Inclusive design at the city create the opportunity to guarantee equal access to fundamental rights; improve the quality of life of its population and ensure that everybody - regardless of age, mobility or ability - has equal access to all the resources and pleasures cities have to offer. Inclusive design creates an opportunity to support and create equal living conditions for the most vulnerable groups (people with disabilities, the elderly, families with young children).

The article proves that despite a significant growth in the service sector in recent years, industry remains the main engine of economic growth. Moreover, using the analysis of statistical data, it is shown that the development of industrial complexes of countries of the world is accompanied by corresponding structural changes, which in turn determines their economic development in general. The study aims to solve the following issues: which structure of the national industry can be considered progressive under modern conditions, i.e., can lead to progress and sustainable socio-economic growth; whether there is a correlation between the progressive structure of the country’s industry and its economic development and the quality of life of its population; how the approach of the country’s industrial structure to its progressive state influences the country’s economic development and quality of life of its population. The purpose of the study is to justify or refute the hypothesis about influence of progressiveness of the industrial structure on sustainable economic development and quality of life of the population. The main methods used in the study are cluster analysis and integral assessment. The statistical basis of the study is the data on inter-branch balances for 36 countries of the world for 2009, 2011 and 2014. The results obtained in the study allowed confirming the hypothesis about the positive influence of approach of the industrial structure of countries of the world to its progressive state on the sustainable economic development and quality of life of their population. This conclusion can be considered as the basis for forming the state policy of the world’s countries to develop their economies and improve the quality of life of their population.

Mental And Physical Health

Current social requirements concerning the living environment tend to be more and more related to the natural values of the urban space. People are aware of the fact that contact with nature is extremely important for of mental and physical health. Therefore, the quality of the natural environment around the place of living influences the quality of life. The studies confirm that the presence of natural elements in the urban space may expressly affect the improvement of this quality. An example of a city with high quality of life is represented by Olsztyn, the capital of the Warmian- Masurian Province, located within the borders of the functional area of the Green Lungs of Poland, which is characterized by the particularly valuable quality of its natural environment. This is confirmed by the results of the social Diagnosis dated 2015, which put Olsztyn in 4th place among the largest Polish cities in the ranking concerning the quality of life. It is also influenced by the quality of the natural environment, which in the case of Olsztyn is manifested in a large number of green areas and standing bodies of water located within the administrative borders of the city. The aim of this paper is to compare the quality of the living environment of individual boroughs of Olsztyn conditioned by the natural elements (greenery, bodies of water, air, noise) in relation to the received public opinion polling results.

Resumen El acelerado crecimiento urbano genera mayor demanda en infraestructura de servicios y dotaciones. También ha modificado el espacio público de las ciudades, y en tal sentido, se espera que se distribuya de manera equitativa en la ciudad garantizando una óptima cobertura; en especial, para las poblaciones más vulnerables. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la equidad en la distribución de espacio público en Bogotá, a partir de una caracterización, a escala localidad, de la pobreza (pobreza monetaria, pobreza extrema, índice de pobreza multidimensional, índice de calidad de vida y necesidades básicas insatisfechas). Adicionalmente, se analizan los indicadores de espacio público (espacio público efectivo, espacio público total y espacio público verde). Este análisis comparativo, a la luz de los conceptos de focalización, igualdad y progresividad, determina cuáles localidades presentan mayores niveles de pobreza en la ciudad, y si son las mismas que presentan mayores dotaciones en términos de inversión pública. Se establece un escenario de discusión frente a la implicación focalizada de las inversiones del gobierno local. Palabras clave: calidad de vida; capital social; hábitat urbano; indicadores de pobreza; indicadores urbanos; política pública; segregación socioespacial; vulnerabilidad   Abstract Accelerated urban growth has modified the public space of cities significantly. The increase of the world population demands a greater infrastructure of services and endowments in the city, to determine the optimum quality of life of inhabitants. In the case of urban space, it is expected to be distributed in an equitable way in the city, guaranteeing optimum coverage, especially for the most vulnerable populations. This work aims to analyze equity in the distribution of public space in Bogotá, based on a characterization of poverty, by location, and its relationship with the quality indicators of public space. This analysis determines which locations have the highest levels of poverty in the city and if they are the same with the highest endowments, in terms of public investment. A discussion scenario is established in the face of the focused involvement of local government investments.
