Some contemporary aspects of master planning, design and development for suburban territories of large cities

Abstract

The article discusses the modern state of affairs in the field of master planning of suburban territories. It is noted, that for the time being such a problem is becoming urgent and actual, due to enormous rise of urban territories, which occupy not only small satellite towns around megapolises, but also the original and traditional suburban areas, and even the countryside territories with small settlements. That’s why a new challenge emerged, which required a high-quality design approach, based on contemporary scientific achievements. A number of recommendations are being given in the article and some conclusions are being made, based on modern practice of urban planning, design and development. The main idea of the article is that urbanization can not be banned and thus it should be scientifically organized and controlled.
