Urban planning regulation and rationing of the infrastructure of mass sports in the largest cities

Abstract

The article examines the system of urban planning regulation and rationing of mass sports facilities in the largest cities of Russia. The lack of an interconnected system of sports facilities with the planning features of the largest city is one of the most important problems considered in the article. Rationing and regulation are the most important tools for the implementation of any infrastructure systems. The purpose of the study is to determine the directions of the necessary transformation of the system of urban planning regulation and rationing of mass sports infrastructure facilities for the largest cities, taking into account their intensive growth and development of agglomeration processes. The evolutionary development of the system of urban planning regulation of sports infrastructure is considered. To analyze modern regulation and rationing, the documentation of twelve major Russian cities (urban planning standards, master plans, rules of land use and development, infrastructure programs) was analyzed. Based on the analysis of normative documents of three stages of the development of the urban planning regulation system: Soviet (1922-1991), post-Soviet (1991-2000), as well as the modern stage (2000-2023), the main trends and aspects inherent in each stage of regulation of sports infrastructure were identified. Their influence on the modern system of urban planning regulation is determined. An assessment of urban planning standards is proposed according to five criteria: standardized types of sports facilities, their spatial levels, the number of indicators, the provision of facilities for the population and territorial accessibility. The rating of the cities was compiled based on the proposed assessment. The main problems of urban planning regulation and standardization of sports infrastructure facilities are identified. Recommendations for improving the urban planning approach to the formation of sports infrastructure facilities for mass sports in the largest cities are proposed.
