THE URBAN PLANNING INFORMATION PLATFORM: PROGRESSIVE METHODS OF PLANNING AND MANAGING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIES

Abstract

The urban planning information platform, including the “digital twin” model, has become the basis for the integration of various urban planning and sector-wide approaches and a tool for progressive spatial planning, design, and management of the sustainable development of territories. The study identified several “smart urban planning” aspects as promising directions in the development of urban planning theory and practice. The article gives a brief description of modern global experiences in digital forecasting, programming, and design of the spatial system, and reviews the postulations of strategic urban planning, area graphic identity modeling and master planning taking into account digital information systems and information and communication technologies. The authors propose to separate the concepts of “territorial” and “spatial”, considering their differences and tasks. Prospects for the development of urban planning information systems and “digital twins” in spatial planning and modeling are outlined. Consideration is given to theories underlying predictive probabilistic modeling; proactive, institutional and participatory planning taking into account the interests of residents, business, and scientific and public institutions, and challenges of creating a comfortable, safe and landscaped living environment.
