Methodical approaches to justify the sustainable development of a historically established city using the principles of revitalization of territories
Abstract
The task of urban development is to synthesize resource flows and create adequate anthropological conditions for the implementation of rational programmes and plans for the revitalization of urban spaces. Turning to the essence of the methodological principle of relativism, which consists in the absolutization of relativity and conditionality of any knowledge, and, consequently, restricts the description of the object of research to their immanent properties, the presence or absence of the latter ensures the priority not only of integrity, systemic reality over individual parts, but also of development over preservation. In other words, urban development should be regarded as a managerial functional of expanded reproduction (capitalization) of urban assets in its modern development. In relation to the city, it is also important that the material should not dominate and cannot be considered in isolation. The property of the integrity of urban space creates the basis for the realization of the advantages of systematicity and prioritization of development goals. The preservation of real estate objects over time allows us to study the dynamically changing parameters of real estate and the logic of urban development, reflecting the meanings of urban life, transformations of production methods, challenges and overcoming, values and preferences. A comparative analysis of the causes of emergence and factors of the development of settlements in Russia and Europe shows the similarity of evolutionary trends. At the same time, the study of natural conditions, specialization and peculiarities of mentality of the population of different countries, urban planning traditions allow us to identify common features and differences in the urban development of cities. The close relationship between urban development and the socio-economic development of the city has a dual nature of interaction, determined by historical periods, which are essentially discrete projections of each other. It is proved that urban planning activities affect the social and economic life of the country in the long term. The problems of maintaining a balance between opportunities and needs in the social, financial, cultural and environmental aspects of urban development lead us to the need to determine the vector of sustainable development. It is generally accepted to carry out the processes of real estate conversion in historically developed cities within the framework of the Redevelopment Concept. The change in functionality and operational characteristics is currently subordinated to the logic of the market economy, i.e. the support and multiplication of cash flows at all stages of the life cycle of real estate. The decision on the degree of construction and architectural intervention is subordinated to these motives. Targeted focus on solving social problems significantly changes the conceptual foundations of redevelopment, giving them a social focus on creating a comfortable living environment. In this regard, emergency housing, mothballed or abandoned real estate are subject to not just repurposing, but literally “revitalization”, i.e. recreating conditions for comfortable human habitation. In terms of the theory of sustainable development, this means the revitalization of the living space. According to the author, the term “revitalization of urban space” corresponds much more to the targeted focus of National Development projects.
