FORMS OF A SPATIAL-PLANNING ORGANIZATION OF A LINEAR CITY (URBAN SYSTEM “GREAT VOLGOGRAD”)
The article reveals the forms of linear planning development of urban systems (linear, strip, urbanized corridors). The features of the formation of linear city-planning systems are revealed by the example of the formation of the largest city center in the Lower Volga Volgograd. This city, developing along the Volga River, is a unique linear planning formation in the world, stretching along the river axis for almost 100 kilometers. The factors determining the linear planning development of cities are revealed. The scientific foundations of the future development of the urban development system "Big Volgograd" are proposed taking into account the trends of further linear growth.
