New time cities: problems and contradictions
The topic of the presented work is very relevant, since the era of the so-called «New Time», covering the period from the second half of the 18th century to the first half of the 20th century, has had and continues to have a huge impact on modern urban development. The analysis of the main city-forming factors and features of the growth dynamics of European and American large cities made it possible to formulate the main problems and contradictions (in particular, between the center and the outskirts) that arose as a result of a gradual departure from the art of creating an urban architectural ensemble. The results of the analysis of the reconstructions of Paris and Vienna can be used in modern urban planning in large cities.
