PROBLEMS OF FORMING COMFORTABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT IN THE CITY OF GORNOZAVODSK
In the article the problems of the quality of urban environment of a single-industry city that has developed under the conditions of the Soviet town-planning policy, and the demographic and economic problems that have arisen in recent decades are considered by the example of Gornozavodsk city of the Perm Region. The results of urban planning studies are presented: the planning structure and typology of development, the state of public spaces, the road network. A retrospective analysis of the master plans of the settlement was carried out. The authors considered the possibilities of improving urban environment based on increasing coherence and transformation of the territory in order to preserve the urban status of Gornozavodsk. It is proposed by the researchers to strengthen and specify in the urban planning documents the requirements for the development of green and public spaces, reduce the spread of buildings, revise the profiles of city streets and traffic patterns, and create conditions for the development of the city. The main purpose of the proposed transformations is to create a compact city with a safe and comfortable street and road network focused on pedestrians and cyclists.
