The analysis of planning experience of inhabited localities urban beautification in view of reconstruction was undertaken in the article. The question of Ukrainian experience of urban beautification system in accordance with approved standards and State Constructional Standards was envisaged. Analysis of validation state of local documents in urban beautification field was carried out and it has shown deficient percentage of regulatory documents approval on local level, which is one of key issues of urban beautification development. Furthermore, detailed analysis of foreign experience of urban beautification planning and development trend of this system I such countries, as USA, Canada, Russian Federation, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan was carried out. It is shown that first and critical stage of planning of effective urban beautification is preparing and approving corresponding certificates and standards. Emphasis added to functioning normative legal documents on issues relating to urban beautification, in accordance to which the territory reconstruction in mentioned countries is realized. It was established that reference direction of urban beautification development in mentioned countries lies in parking lots removing out of the borders of curtilage or underground parking arrangement, landscape gardening development and classification of such territories by levels of urban gardening, territory reconstruction in accordance with typical schemes of street infrastructure development, urban gardening, cycle paths, etc. It is shown that problem solution of habitable open grounds organization on city level resides in usage intensification of such territories, and on the level of residential compounds – in increasing exploitation properties of open grounds. As a result of undertaken analysis it was established that raised problem of increasing the effectiveness of residential area usage within residential areas imposes complex approach, including question of land development intensiveness, architectural and planning organization and open grounds beautification.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to trace the history of colonial urban planning in Nigerian cities, its legacies of urban design and beautification of the environment. In Nigeria the town planning institutional frame works was established under the colonial rule which persisted to the post colonial period. In this sense the colonial era was a phase in which European institutions and values systems were transferred to Nigeria, one of which is the concept of environmental beautification with the use of plants. An investigation is carried out on the influence of colonial rule on landscaping and urban design. Findings show that the introduction of deliberate landscaping to city planning have over the years systematically led to loss of valuable indigenous plants partly due to the introduction of exotic plants. These are plants that initially were seen as sources of cure for several ailments. There is therefore the need for a rethink as to the type of plants to be used for landscaping.

Full textAbstract:
On several occasions in the early twentieth century, advocates of urban planning proposed significant measures for altering the layout of Toronto streets. Planning historians often have proposed that an interest in beautification was superseded by a focus on efficiency by the 1920s, but Toronto's plans largely were lost amidst private development processes and business cycles. Confusion over planning priorities, the short-term perspectives of politicians, and a lack of urgency also impeded city and regional planning. Toronto experienced less planning initiatives than major United-States cities.

The subject of this research is the historical stages of creation of the beautification elements of urban environment of the city of Magnitogorsk. The object of this research is the periods of construction of recreational system objects since the XX century until the present. The authors examine such aspects of the topic as construction of recreational areas at each development period; all engineering and construction works at each historical stage pursued the key goal – quickest possible construction and bringing into service the largest metallurgical plant.  The authors propose a method of historical periodization of formation of recreational structures since the late XX century until the presents. The main conclusions lies in the results of analysis of beautification level of urban territories at different stages of its development. The elimination of such flaws would lead to a truly comprehensive beautification and creation of full-scale in functional, constructive, planning and artistic regard urban environment. The main factors of rational organization of a comfortable urban environment are determined.

The purpose of the study is to identify and compare territorial zones, volumetric-spatial characteristics of buildings and the peculiarities of the formation of open public spaces in Zelenodolsk. The main results of the study are that a comprehensive urban planning analysis was carried out, on the basis of which the features of the formation of territorial zones in the city were revealed, the boundaries of spatial-environmental morphotypes, their environmental features were identified, and the specificity of the formation of a design code for different areas of the city was determined. The significance of the results obtained for architecture and urban planning lies in the fact that the concept of the form-based code developed in the study for Zelenodolsk can become the basis for updating (or updating) urban planning documents (Local standards for urban planning, General plan, urban planning regulations, City beautification rules). The method of identifying and forming spatial-environmental morphotypes in the city is also of great importance, as the basis for creating a form-based code for Russian small and medium-sized industrial cities.

Full textAbstract:
Alleys in urban areas have recently been associated with crime and slums. Makassar as one of the biggest cities in Indonesia started to revitalize its alleys in 2014 as a campaign agreement implemented in Makassar Spatial Plan as well as an urban mutual interaction. This scheme is to change negative perspectives about alleys and to enhance urban community awareness. The research is a qualitative method with a phenomenological paradigm referring to urban design toolkits. Data collecting uses observation surveys and walk-through analyses. The selected alleys that have been discussed are based on thematic alleys from the government decisions. The findings show that successful government programs should empower the inheritance of cultural values. Genius loci adapted from the local nomenclature programs are more recognizable in public to build sense of belonging and promote urban resilience. The revitalization of alleys provide communal space, urban farming harvest, and leads to green economy improvements, settlement arrangements, and mutual local aids. Constructing urban resilience through government programs that should not depend on a Mayor’s tenure is another finding in this research. Adaptive governance is essential in flexible and collaborative management rather than application programs in terms of political interests, beautification, and ceremonial activities.

Full textAbstract:
A study of the goals and strategies of planning in Hamilton shows that concentration of professional reports and civic planning boards alone is too limited to assess the local fate of the city planning movement and its constituent emphases of beautification and efficiency. The municipal advisory Town Planning Board (TPB) appointed in 1915 and the report commissioned from engineer-planner Noulan Cauchon in 1917 reflected the co-existence of the two emphases among Hamilton planning advocates. Post-war changes in the composition of the TPB and the development of ad hoc political alternatives to zoning reduced the TPB's political influence and led by 1923 to its abandonment by prominent beautifiers. While the ineffectual advisory TPB continued until completion of its zoning plan in 1928, the beautifiers moved to administrative parks and roads boards whose provincially legislated powers and budgets made them more effective vehicles for the realization of long-standing plans which had been re-iterated in Cauchon's report and pursued unsuccessfully through the TPB. By 1930, the efficiency planners had disappeared while the beaufifiers had overcome political challenges to their plans for scenic boulevards and a major expansion of the park system.

This paper aims to raise the issue of "falsity" in Heritage Revitalization and how it impacts on values in Historic Urban Landscape. The object of the study is the process of revitalization carried out in Kali Besar in the Jakarta Old City Area based on Jakarta Governor's Instruction 2016, No. 101. To evaluate Kali Besar's revitalization planning, this study uses historical methods, especially those relating to aspects of urban space, social and revitalization policies. This study results the findings that the Revitalization of Kali Besar was not done through a good management plan and arranged with various changes as the cause. Beautification is still considered as the main foundation in the Kali Besar arrangement. Historic Urban Landscape must be the main references in the process of revitalizing the Kali Besar area and to produce a mature management plan.

Pokhara is one of the rapidly growing cities of Nepal. It is the second-largest metropolitan city after Kathmandu. Because of the renowned temples, monasteries, lakes, adventure sports, and being close to the well-known Annapurna Range, it is considered as the tourism capital of Nepal. Millions of tourist visit this naturally gifted city every year contributing to considerable economic development. This economic prospect has attracted thousands of migrants every year leading to 67% growth in population in the last decade. The rapid population growth and urbanization without long-term planning and firm regulation have severely affected the development of sustainable infrastructure, preservation of the public space and natural resources. This has further impacted the tourism, economy, health and wellbeing, environment, and social aspect of the city. This article aims to generate strategies for retaining and improving the natural beauty of the city (focusing on the Phewa Lake area) by enhancing the economy and environment, rejuvenating social and cultural values, elevating the health and wellbeing of the people, and strengthening and promoting sustainable development. In this article, literature reviews, interviews, and field surveys were undertaken and four major improvements/developments are recommended for the beautification of Pokhara City. The recommendations are: preservation and development of open space into self-sustaining cohesive community parks, citizen-centred urban development, improvement of current transport infrastructure, and conservation of natural resources such as water, vegetation, and landscape.

This article addresses the issue of planning of urban territories by the children's playgrounds according to the modern standards, the requirements of safety, aesthetics and ecological aspects and playgrounds, which is adapted to the needs of children with disabilities.
 The authors are performed a study of the providing of the Kharkiv city districts by modern sites. It is established now there are insufficient amount of children's play complexes with all current necessary requirements. Moreover, the question remains of organization of the complex playgrounds including for needs of children with disabilities. The analysis of recent studies of Ukrainian and foreign authors on the issue was conducted. The aim of this work is the problem of insufficient providing of playgrounds on urban territories locational nearby of existing buildings and sites of new construction. Recommendations for implementation of architectural decisions of small and large playgrounds of subdistricts are developed. Planning should be done taking into account the requirements of increasing the level of ecological environment and meeting the needs of population different categories.
 The planning criteria in designing of playgrounds on the urban territories, regardless of their size, are defined. These criteria are included of protection against noise and dust of the playing area, making of appropriate covering and application of modern safe equipment for playgrounds. The paper proposes the organization of play space by way of functional zoning. The schematic structure of the child's complexes of residential districts with the main functional zones and the corresponding equipment for each zone is developed. The diagram illustrates the components of the design process for playground complexes, the principles that should be guided in the organization of children's play space and the tasks, which must be solved. It is concluded that serious work is being done in this field, but there is not enough of quality playgrounds for urban areas.
 Therefore, the landscaping and beautification of territories around of new buildings, as well as the renovation of sections of territories of existing buildings, should include the design of a children's play area, taking into account the stated principles and needs of all categories of population.

Urban public spaces determine the identity of the city’s dwellers, ensure the implementation of the communication function. They are constantly changing, characterized by various transformational processes that take place under the influence of various factors in the development of the city. The need for knowledge of contemporary complex and ambiguous processes in cities causes the relevance of the socio-spatial approach to the analysis of the functioning and transformation of public spaces in order to increase the level of comfort of living in cities, and smart management of urban development. In this aspect, Kyiv is a good ground for socio-geographical study of various types of public spaces characterized by intensive traditional and specific transformations. The most significant changes are typical for open public spaces. Therefore, in order to understand the factors of contemporary processes in open public spaces, it is necessary to carry out a socio-spatial analysis of a set of parks, public gardens, boulevards, streets, embankments and squares of the capital. The article presents results of analysis of the peculiarities of Kyiv’s open public spaces functioning and transformation in the context of the socio-spatial approach. The analysis revealed that the network of open public spaces in Kyiv corresponds to the stages of the city’s territorial development. The most widespread directions of open public spaces transformation in Kyiv are commercialization (functioning of objects providing paid cultural and entertainment services), “beautification” (club design, sculpture installation, renovation of street furniture, registration of thematic zones), (home-type behavior of visitors, the use of home decor items), “europeanization” (designing public spaces based on European urban practices), “ideologization”(commemorative practices through giving relevant names to public spaces and/or establishment of monuments), sacralization (restoration or new construction of temples in parks, squares and gardens), orientation towards the potential consumer (differences in planning design and functions depending on location in the urban planning structure) and “elitization” (allocation of facilities with the club effect). These processes make substantial impact on the intensity of the use of open public spaces in different planning zones, changing their functions and prospects of use.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the effects of a neighbourhood greening and beautification strategy called Clean & Green on crime prevention and reduction. Point level data for all Part I index crimes and Clean & Green efforts in the study area from 2005 to 2014 are analysed using spatial and linear regression with two key modifications: (1) controlling for temporal and spatial dependencies between points; and (2) allowing for potentially non-linear temporal trends in the effect of cumulative greening. To accommodate those modifications, generalised additive models (GAMs) were employed. The analyses of violent and property crimes suggest that greening efforts are increasingly protective over time. The findings demonstrate that the elimination of blight and disorder via neighbourhood greening and beautification efforts can be an effective tool for crime prevention and control in communities.

Urban system is not only a reflection of city’s beautification, it is the indicators of urban functions, too. On one hand, Visual guide knowledge is to meet the locals’ usage, on the other hand, it also applies to immigrant population. Urban sign design has played a leading role in culture, economy in the contribution for the city. How to balance the needs of the above two aspects, it should design and express from the perspective of combination of visual aesthetics, facilitate cultural, aesthetic and practical.

<span lang="EN-US">In the contemporary urban order the rational connection between the physique of the city and its non-physical elements is a major concern. Whatever happens in the existence of a city like the social, cultural, economic and political interactions are the inevitable realities through which the qualification and quantification nature of the city are determined. All occurrences in these realities, the constituent elements, are subject to the structural process which can be regulated as one of the social organization (non-physical) in urban settings, namely the social organization of the city, economic organization of the city and the political organization of the city. These organizations have the ranking in importance according to the city scale. The objective here is to identify these organizations and their contributions in conceptual urban planning. The adopted method here is descriptive-analytic. In a comparative comparison between the physical and non-physical needs of human regarding an urban setting reveals that the non-physical aspect has priority with high importance since its effect on the citizens’ satisfaction is specific and direct.</span>

Full textAbstract:
This urban ecocritical study reads the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay and William Carlos Williams in the context of the American street tree movement, a civic health and beautification program that advocated for the planting of shade trees along urban thoroughfares. It argues that both poets critique the ‘ideal’ street tree forwarded by the movement. In ‘City Trees,’ Millay presents a shade tree whose therapeutic effects are overwhelmed by the noise pollution in New York City, much like the speaker herself. In ‘Young Sycamore,’ Williams eschews the visual ideal of symmetrical, evenly-spaced shade trees in favor of a wily, asymmetrical organism that actively torques toward the light. By extension, these poets present city habitats as alternately more toxic and more wild than the street tree movement had imagined, a critique with ramifications for contemporary urban reforestation movements today.

Full textAbstract:
The daily increase in population and the complexity of urban issues, shortages in suitable financial and human resources, environmental pollutions, etc. sometimes cause the citizens to forget or be unable to fulfill their needs in the hobnob of life, pollution, tiredness and the routine of life. This has led some factors such as the closeness to the work and living place of human beings to nature, small green spaces within the cities and their benefits for the people receive less attention in our time. Cities, as centers of man's activities and life, in order to keep their sustainability have no way but to accept the structure and they have no function affected by natural systems. Here, urban green spaces, as the vital and inseparable part of the cities' unified form in their metabolism, have basic roles and their shortage can cause serious disorders in the lives of the cities. Public green spaces have a significant impact in improving the life quality of the citizens, liveliness and the beautification of the city. With regard to these issues, it has been tried in this paper to analyze the mental and social impacts of urban green spaces on the improvement of the citizens' life quality and their roles in the beautification of urban spaces and their liveliness by using the attraction-repulsion pattern with an approach to green spaces and by analyzing case studies among the citizens. The results indicated that the citizens use green spaces mostly to have access to clean air, family entertainment, liveliness, being away from the pollutions and the smallness of their houses, walking, relieving their tiredness, running away from their routine lives, etc. and these spaces have significant impact in the beautification of urban environments.

Full textAbstract:
This article reflects on the challenges for urban planning posed by the emergence of smart cities in network societies. In particular, it reflects on reductionist tendencies in existing smart city planning. Here the concern is with the implications of prior reductions of complexity which have been undertaken by placing primacy in planning on information technology, economical profit, and top-down political government. Rather than pointing urban planning towards a different ordering of these reductions, this article argues in favor of approaches to smart city planning via complexity theory. Specifically, this article argues in favor of approaching smart city plans holistically as topologies of organized complexity. Here, smart city planning is seen as a theory and practice engaging with a complex adaptive urban system which continuously operates on its potential. The actualizations in the face of contingency of such potential are what might have the city evolve over time, its organization, its wholeness, and its continued existence being at stake from moment to moment.

Urban cultural crisis becomes a common phenomenon under the background of current globalized wave and rapid urbanization; the traditional city planning emphasizes on shaping material spatial form and lacks deep understanding and respect towards city culture, leading to the loss of city characteristics. It mainly because the cultural values of the urban planning are not clear and the urban spatial planning is divorced from cultural planning seriously. This paper starts with the cultural duality of urban space, puts forward that it is inevitably logical to integrate the cultural planning into the urban planning system; It discusses the theories and methods of cultural planning for urban spaces from the target system construction, main content and operation system, stressing that the core of cultural planning for urban spaces is the combing of cultural spatial factors and spatial cultural structure, then propounds the way to melt it into existing city planning system to enhance urban planning to the new stage of cultural consciousness and initiative.

At present, traffic problem has become one of the biggest problems about the development of urban city in China. Faced with this problem, it is important for traffic planning to keep traffic be in accordance with the city. It is a challenge to urban planning, especially to the traditional method by land utilization planning. To relieve traffic congestion and other issues blocking, we can not only enhance road construction, but also make some innovation about the new thoughts and methods for the functional departments of the government. This is the key to solve the urban traffic problem for the time being.

Most urban renewal programmes in Africa are conceived as mere urban beautification projects. From Lagos to Dakar, move one or two kilometers away from the city centers and one is faced with filth and squalor that are summed up in two words –urban slums, in which a great majority of city populations reside. In Nigeria, population living in slums as percentage of urban population is put at 50.2 % in 2014, up from 41.0% in 2007. This highlights the rapid growth of urban slums in Africa with rapid urbanization largely fueled by rural-urban migration. Incidentally, lessons from COVID-19 indicate that if the trend in the growth of unplanned slum settlements are not checked, they will become the hotspots for pandemic transmission in Africa, as the slum populations are part and parcel of the entire urban population who indeed are key drivers of city activities in terms of labour supply, as well as their engagements in small scale informal business activities in the cities. In the light of existing knowledge on the potential threat of dense slum settlements to the spread of pandemic, this paper reviews the appropriateness of traditional approach to urban renewal programmes in Africa and makes recommendations for paradigm shift as historical evidences reveal that COVID-19 is neither the first nor the last pandemic.

Rapid urban development and dramatic change of landscape have been recently witnessed in the developing city Haikou in China as a result of rapid economic development. In this paper, Dinamica which was a spatially explicit simulation model of landscape dynamics were used to simulate the evolution of Haikou during the period of 1989 to 2012.They are expanding from exist city cell, around the city center, along the transportation line, and rural resident spot. According to the spatial occupation reality of Haikouin 1996 and 2008, the simulation accuracy is greater than 82% . Dinamica model is considere d a useful tool for urbanization research. And we found that residential land development tools such as the Public Residential City Development (PRCD) and the Housing Construction Facilitating Support (HCFS) in Haikou are working to prevent sprawl or facilitate it.

Aim. The aim is to justify the application of the landscape approach in urban planning on the basis of theoretical concepts of landscape studies and the requirements of urban planning practices. Discussion. The basic scheme of the landscape approach is to study the natural and anthropogenic landscape as a complex geosystem consisting of a complex of various components which form the planning structure of the city. In territorial and urban planning, the structure and properties of natural and urban landscapes are revealed using functional, historical-genetic, morphotypic, geo-ecological and visual research methods. Abroad, a similar trend is called "landscape urbanism", the theoretical basis of which is based on the understanding that the best option for the organization of urban areas should be based on the landscape features of the city. With the use of the above-mentioned approaches, an urban landscape approach is being formed, a new nature-urban planning system which, in addition to natural complexes, includes man-made structures: buildings, infrastructure, parks and squares. If the natural landscape is a self-regulating geo-system, then the urban one is controlled by man. When taking actions to transform natural landscapes should be taken into account their structure and functioning, as well as the limits of possible impacts and the likely consequences of these changes. Conclusion. The demand for a landscape approach is constantly growing as a result of the significant transformation of modern cities, the replacement of architectural styles, the growth of urban space and communications, the desire to improve the quality of the urban environment and the comfort of the urban population.

Statement of the problem. New challenges of our time and the dynamics of socio-political and socio-economic factors in the development of Russia significantly affect the methodology of urban planning. The deteriorating environmental situation in many cities encourages a new approach to understanding and developing new principles of city life that regulate the biosphere compatibility of cities and the development of human capital as the main criteria for the effectiveness of territorial planning, construction and operation of urban facilities. Results. The article deals with a fundamentally new approach-urban planning, which should be understood as a system of fundamental provisions on life in the territories of cities and settlements and the principles of their spatial development and settlement. In practical terms, urban planning is an activity for the internal arrangement of the city's living environment, creating favorable conditions for the life of all categories and strata of the population without exception. The fundamental differences between the concept of urban development and urban planning are related to the need to understand the unity of the city and Nature, the symbiotic "embedding" of the city in the Biosphere. The Central element of the concept of urban development is the person, the conditions for its development in the urban environment.Conclusion. As part of the research, the practice of urban planning allows solving the problems of innovative development of the urban economy and increasing human potential, and in the long term -- transforming cities into biosphere-compatible and developing people as an alternative condition forthe survival of humanity and a priority for its development as an intellectual community.

This paper summarises the key arguments of degrowth thinking and examines their validity in a city planning setting. The paper argues that much of the reorientation work that is necessary to meet the goals of international climate change conventions needs to be carried out locally, in urban and regional settings, and this creates pressure to renew land-use planning practices. It also argues that in light of the latest carbon footprint studies the currently popular linking of urban planning motives with the doctrine of ‘compactness policy’ – which aims at urban core densification and accumulation of growth options – needs to be re-evaluated. The empirical part of the paper focuses on the inner city planning of Joensuu, a city in Eastern Finland with 75,000 inhabitants which has increasingly been criticised by some residents, civil servants and civic action groups for one-sided promotion of the central city. This is, according to critics, taking place at the cost of the surrounding countryside and peri-urban nodes. The paper illustrates how the ‘tactics of growth’ become manifest in the official local planning procedure and to what degree the planning critique, explicitly or implicitly, leans on degrowth concerns. The gathering of the empirical material progressed as part of my involvement in the local degrowth movement, Kohtuusliike, which actively participated in the preparation of the Central Joensuu General Plan 2012.

Abstract Environmental protection has become a common issue in every area, but extremely important for the domains which deal with intensive energy consumption as it is the case of the transportation. Achieving the sustainable cities on the other hand, is also focused on the protection of the environment in order to provide a higher quality of life for the population. Therefore it is considered that by improving the urban transportation planning additional benefits could be provided for both the environment and the sustainable development of the cities. One possibility is to supplement the traditionally land-use plans with the transportrelated zones analysis, where the city is divided in public transport, pedestrian and caroriented zones. Analyzing the transport-related zones of a city is important as it provides additional information in the assessment of the development trend. The process of zoning was conducted for the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. In this paper, the outcome of the zoning was analyzed for a more comprehensive review of the urban transport in order to attain a sustainable-oriented approach of the urban area development.

If we now live with a planetary urban process (Brenner &amp; Schmid, 2015a), the very idea of “future cities” must be brought into question. Indeed, we might ask whether urban planning has morphed into planetary planning, with its primary charge being the construction of vast networks of urban systems coordinating a global capitalist process. This commentary cautions against such over-extended theories of urbanization and related planning practices. Although global capitalism has engendered profound spatial changes, the concept of the city remains a crucial social and political idea. By outlining the continued centrality of the city to social and political life, the commentary argues for a democratic evaluation of the urban form in order to plan for, and realize, more just cities.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on Seattle in the 1960s and early 1970s, this article argues that the postwar environmental movement grew out of concerns among urbanites about physical and social changes in the metropolitan context. The ““battle of Fort Lawton”” was a series of protests over the conversion of an old army fort to a ““wilderness park.”” In these protests, women and urban Native Americans offered competing arguments about the meaning and uses of nature in the city. This article traces a growing constituency of environmental activists, broadly defined, whose goals ranged from ““beautification”” in the early 1960s to ““ecology”” in the early 1970s. These struggles over open space demonstrate how definitions of nature and of environmentalism often reflected competing visions of politics and of citizenship in the emerging postindustrial city.

The quality of city life and well being of city dwellers is central goal of urban planning approaches. Nevertheless, unsystematic and short-term planning approaches of cities have produced incomprehensible sprawl, which deteriorates social, economic and ecological sustainability of the city. The need to alleviate or remove these problems systematically for improving the social, ecological, spatial and economical components of the city is contemporary issue, though most of the planning systems do not yet explicitly address those issues of sustainability. This paper considers Urban planning as a key term as it has the capability to reveal the implications of land use strategies, policies and programmes for the social, economic and physical components of environment. In addition, all the traditional urban planning approaches have outlined to explore their soundness in the sustainable city planning, discuss the main approach followed for sustainable city planning, and outline emerging approach in both theory and sustainable city planning practice.

Abstract Beauty can be a source of self-making within a political community, and that self can display moral autonomy via publicly visible and invisible practices while still adhering to a community. At a time of transition during the early 2000s from militarized resistance to urban civil politics, radical democracy, and gender ideals, older militarized notions of the Kurdish self, body, and beauty were changing. In a context of heightened visibility within the movement, women active in the Kurdish movement responded by recrafting their femininities, using beautification practices as a modern, urban, and empowering political tool. But beautification of the new self also entailed often sticky negotiations over the moral boundaries between the self and the movement, producing anxieties over what and who should constitute the moral. As women's actions, public roles, and visibilities became important indicators of the Kurdish movement's political success, their beauty practices and beautiful visibilities came to be viewed through the urgent need for moral unity. Central to Kurdish women activists' experience of and response to the political and social transformations going on around them, the integration of beauty practices into their politics placed moral autonomy at the center of the construction of new models of Kurdish femininity.

The thought of authors concerning expediency of working out techniques and methodical recommendations taking into account legislative and normative acts being in force in Ukraine for that time, is substantiated, and organizational features of legal regulation of lands under homestead buildings of cities in view of basic functions of such territories for their constant development and creation of appropriate conditions for residing of inhabitants are marked. The attention that the legal regime of using such lands needs complements concerning necessity of their operation according to the rules of territory beautification of a populated locality and other documentation concerning beautification issues, is paid. The idea on expediency of the Land Code of Ukraine amendments, in particular in its provisions concerning the use of inhabited and public land buildings in the limits ofpopulated localities taking into account the rules of territory beautification, is spoken out. The authors focus attention on the requirements to regulate the use of inhabited and public land buildings not only in the land legislation but also in the legislative acts which regulate a question of inhabited and public buildings territory beautification. Thus, for appropriate carrying out forensic examination on speciality 10.20 it’s necessary to develop methodical support both by adopting corresponding acts of land and city building legislation, standards, norms and rules of drawing up a technical documentation on the determination (renewal) of land plots boundaries in nature (on terrain) and by creation of the scientifically grounded techniques and methodical recommendations on the designated subjects.

With the development of economy and the progress of science and technology, the function of Luoyang city is constantly enriched and expanded. The city is no longer a simple area for people to live in. The function structure of the city is affected by the external factors and is constantly expanding. Urban logistics is one of the important influencing factors. To more comprehensively and accurately understand the status and role of logistics network space in urban planning, the characteristics and development law of urban logistics structure from the theoretical point of view are analyzed in this paper with Luoyang City as the research background. The city logistics function is determined as one of the main factors affecting the economic growth of the city is determined through the literature search method, consulting professionals and other research methods. Urban road planning and design are the focus of the study; the planning and development of urban logistics road network in Luoyang City are compared and analyzed. In full consideration of the necessity of the optimization of the urban logistics network space, the preliminary optimization scheme design and suggestion of Luoyang logistics is introduced. At the end of this paper, the sustainable development and the status of the future urban logistics function are analyzed and prospected. Continuous research and analysis of multiple subjects and angles are still needed.

Постановка задачи. Новые вызовы современности и динамика общественно-политических и социально-экономических факторов развития России существенным образом влияют на методологию градостроительства. Ухудшающаяся во многих городах экологическая обстановка побуждает по-новому подойти к ее осмыслению и ставит задачу разработки новых принципов жизнедеятельности города, регламентирующих биосферную совместимость городов и развитие человеческого потенциала. Требуется создание программ реновации городской среды и действенных механизмов их реализации на основе новой парадигмы биосферосовместимых технологий. Результаты. В статье рассмотрен принципиально новый подход - градоустройство, под которым следует понимать систему фундаментальных положений о жизнеустройстве на территориях городов и поселений, а также принципы их пространственного развития и расселения. В практическом плане градоустройство - это деятельность по внутреннему обустройству среды жизнедеятельности города, созданию благоприятных условий для жизни всех без исключения категорий и слоев населения. Принципиальные отличия концепции градоустройства от градостроительства связаны с необходимостью осознания единства города и природы, симбиотического «встраивания» города в биосферу. Центральными элементами концепции градоустройства является человек, условия для его развития в городской среде. Выводы. Практика градоустройства позволяет решать проблемы инновационного развития экономики городов и повышения человеческого потенциала, а в долгосрочной перспективе - преобразования городов в биосферосовместимые и развивающие человека в безальтернативных условиях для выживания человечества, ставящих в приоритет развитие интеллектуального сообщества. Statement of the problem. New current challenges and the dynamics of socio-political and socio-economic factors in the development of Russia significantly affect the methodology of urban planning. The deteriorating environmental situation in a lot of cities encourages the design of a new approach to understanding and developing new principles of city life that regulate the biosphere compatibility of cities and development of human capital as the main criteria for the effectiveness of territorial planning, construction and operation of urban facilities. Results. The article deals with a fundamentally new approach-urban planning which should be understood as a system of fundamental provisions on life in the territories of cities and settlements and principles of their spatial development and settlement. Practically speaking, urban planning is an activity for the internal arrangement of the city's living environment, creating favorable conditions for the life of all categories and strata of the population without exception. The fundamental differences between the concept of urban development and urban planning are related to the need to understand the unity of the city and nature, the symbiotic “embedding” of the city in the biosphere. The central element of the concept of urban development is the person, the conditions for its development in the urban environment. Conclusions. As part of the research, the practice of urban planning allows one to solve the problems of innovative development of the urban economy and increasing human potential, and in the long term - transforming cities into biosphere-compatible and developing people as an alternative condition for the survival of humanity and a priority for its development as an intellectual community.

What are the social reasons for urban planning activity? How can we discuss issues, principles, values and guidelines in urban planning action today? The title of these notes is drawn from a series of three seminars which we organised and held between 2011 and 2012, with support from the Diap. These notes accompany Susan Fainstein's essay at the beginning of this edition of the journal. The expression ‘contemporary planning matters' with its double meaning is both a reference to the reasons for contemporary planning activity and a pointer to the challenges of the subject and issues which urban planning action must meet today. It is on these big issues that we have invited Susan Fainstein, Tim Rieniets and Jacques Donzelot to dicuss the conditions to which urban and regional planning is subject today.
