Prospects of Ecological System Formation in Kama Agglomeration

Abstract

The paper studies the development of agglomeration settlement systems in the water-green framework, which is an actual problem of urban planning. The paper considers the prospects of formation of the natural Kama agglomeration to prevent possible environmental and urban development problems in the future. The main purpose is to substantiate proposals for correction of spatial development directions in the Kama agglomeration for the prospective formation of the water-green framework of the system. It is suggested that in order to prevent the negative impact of urbanization, it is necessary to preserve coastal inter-settlement territories for the future water-green framework. The paper 1) classifies urbanized zones of and natural landscapes of Kama coastal territories by their environmental impact, 2) identifies points of attraction and directions of the core ciy development in the Kama agglomeration, 3) proposes corrections for the spatial development of the core cities to form the water-green framework. As a result, the model is proposed for directions of the development of agglomeration cities for more rational distribution of the natural environment on Kama coastal territories.
