A positive urban environment of the future: revitalising the county railway

Abstract

The paper anticipates and proposes a version of the project for the revitalisation of the Moscow district railway. Sources have been analysed to identify possible future scenarios and risks have been identified which will be addressed in the project. These risks include pessimistic forecasts such as an increase in the number of urban dwellers and their cultural contrast, an increase in social discontent, unemployment, and the negative aspects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Human life itself is being questioned. We present the results of a survey among the urban population of working age regarding their preferences in choosing urban space that meets their individual ideas about comfort and allows them to experience positive emotions. Urban dwellers choose spaces with green areas, water, and activity zones. However, it was not possible to complete a sketch of the ideal space due to the respondents' subjective preferences.
