Features of Modern Urban Planning Activities in Russia
The rejection of the planned economy changed the legal basis and forms of interaction between the subjects of urban planning activities and their powers in the process of organizing and conducting this environment-forming activity. Today, urban planning activities are associated with legal and regulatory regulation of federal, regional, and municipal, as well as sectoral and private events in the field of planning organization of the territory, land management, and capital construction of objects for various purposes. At the same time, the object approach in urban planning activities limits the use of the complex, nature-transforming role of urban planning, which only began to develop in the 80s of the last century with the help of territorial schemes for nature protection and environmental protection schemes in order to substantiate an ecologically acceptable and economically effective spatial organization of nature management within the boundaries of administrative-territorial entities of different taxonometric levels. Mapping the earth's surface and displaying its state and the position of individual natural and artificial objects are the basis for the preparation of design solutions at all large-scale levels of urban planning documents. The need for property registration of mapped objects of the earth's surface, both preserved and planned by programs for the socio-economic development of territories in the context of the evolving digitalization of urban planning activities, determines the need for integration and a uniform description of the functional characteristics of these objects in the system of their urban classification similar to the established structure of cadastral data used when registering property complexes that make up the material-spatial environment of the formation and development of administrative-territorial entities. On this basis, the features of urban planning and the prospects for the introduction of artificial intelligence into urban planning activities are revealed.
