"SOVIET" PRINCIPLES OF PLANNING AT THE EXAMPLE OF MICRODISTRICT SOLNECHNII OF THE CITY OF IRKUTSK AND THEIR APPLICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN TOWN-PLANNING PRACTICE TO CREATE COMFORTABLE AREA OF SEMI-ISLAND CHERTUGEEVSKII
Purpose. We presented the results of investigation of examples of “soviet” planning of microdistricts and their modernization based on modern town-planning concepts. Methods. In this work we used methods of space analyses and computer modeling. Results. For better understanding of the principles of late soviet project method we have considered examples of realization of town-planning ideas particularly in Irkutsk, and also in Moscow and at the territory of former USSR (Kharkov). To match project solutions with modern town-planning theories we chose works of an outstanding theoretic of XX century Kevin Linch and popular in the XXI century theory of intelligent urbanism Beninger. The result was theoretical ideas about development of urban area and realization of these principles in the project of a microdistrict at the territory of semi-island Chertugeevskii (Irkutsk). Conclusions. At the example of development project of semi-island we have analysed possible risks and dangers which occur during the planning of coastal areas. Approaches, described in the article, suppose that we should take into account of these problems and create comfortable urban area according to modern town-planning demands.
