Master ProgramUrban planning and design

Basics town|City historyLectures &independent workSubject 1. Evolution of settlements. Transition preconditions from the preindustrial city to the industrial. Cities of an industrial era. Great Britain as an example of classical primary model of capitalism, an industrial urbanization and genesis of the new industrial cities. Destruction of agrarian and traditional structures, formation of new social and professional groups, employment growth in manufacturing industry etc. Examples. Signs industrial urban society: high rate of a gain of urban population, high employment in industrial branches. Role of tertiary sector economy. Examples. A functionalism and practice of town-planning zoning in the industrial city.Formation of systems of moving and stage of growth of metropolitan areas: steady and progress; suburbanization, decentralization. Their main spatial forms. Agglomeration and its models: monocentric , policentric ,multinuclear etc.Subject 2. The latest urban tendencies upon transition from an industrial era to the post-industrial. Globalization and megalopolization. Post-industrial era of urbanization. Principles of new urbanism. Not western models of the city in the modern world: new colonial cities; traditional city settlements.

Subject 3. System properties of the cities:- Maximova- Plurality and step-type behavior;- Transition of redundancy to self-restriction- Accumulation of a variety and law of development- Orderliness and organization- Law of system separatism- Emergence - Structure and function. Expansion and increase of functions in social, production, administrative spheres.- Law of balance of conservatism and variability. - Law of the smallest resistance- City as dynamically open system. Group homeostasis and structure of the cities of the past.Subject 4. Mobility and its evolution. Transport movings, rhythms and cycles as indicators of the urbanized environment (the general principles). A hierarchical number of the existential organization of activity and corresponding to it territorial communication a community. Subject 5. Structural transformation of the cities in a history and economy context. Historical examples of development of the cities (Rome, Paris, Moscow etc.) and models (Tyunen's concentric model, Berdzhes's Concentric model 1924, Sectoral Hoyt model 1939; Model of the subcenters of Garris-Ullman of 1945. (Multinuclear model). Non-uniform the zoned model or the theory of central areas)Golovin A. Subject 6. History of a town-planning science. Howard, Garnier, Le Corbusier, Saarinen.

Food security of megalopolises. Concepts of the city agro-industry. Resource ManagementUrban environment of dwelling as difficult natural and technogenic system, general characteristic of subsystems and their interrelation. Reasons of deterioration of a condition of habitat of the modern city: insufficient ecological efficiency of a technosphere (industry, transport, power, municipal services); intensive physical, chemical, mechanical and biological environmental pollution; general growth and territorial unevenness of environmental pressures, etc. Negative impact of these factors on health of the person, a condition of plants and ecosystems, materials, buildings and constructions.Essence of environmental problems of the cities, their communication with satisfaction needs of the person for life support system resources and conditions, characteristics material and environment. Signs of reference of the cities and territories adjoining to them to zones of the increased ecological risk, an emergency ecological situation or ecological disaster.Habitat as set of microhabitats of stay of the person during life cycles. The inhabited environment (the apartment, a building, territories, the residential district) the main artificial ecosystem of habitat of the person. Functional properties of its elements, internal system communications, external relations with a surrounding urban environment. The direct and mediated influence of a condition of a surrounding urban environment on a choice of utilities on qualities of the inhabited environment.System of ecological criteria of quality of habitat: all-the-year-round security of thermal conditions and purity of air in rooms (at level of requirements to atmospheric); modes of natural illumination and insolation; protection of elements of the inhabited environment against noise, vibration, electromagnetic and ionizing radiation; efficiency of use of energy resources on maintenance of a heater mode and household needs; security with recreations and platforms of other functional purpose; safety of conditions of accommodation, including security from infections and emergency situations of natural and technogenic character. The necessary spatial and functional environment of the dwelling and standard security in total area a primary condition of quality of habitat. Ecological essence and system interrelation of criteria of quality of habitat.Subject 2. Concept of a sustainable development . New urbanism. Green technologies and harmless city. Climatic calls. Kyoto Protocol. International standards: LEED, BREEM. Theoretical problems of moving and formation of the cities in interrelation with problems of ensuring global ecological equilibrium, rational use of renewable natural resources and ensuring their reproduction.
