Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (85) March, 2024

The publication provides a detailed presentation of historical transformation of the retail street spaces in Khabarovsk since its foundation. The authors define local zones, provide a typology of retail facilities within the city, and identify current trends in the formation of retail trade zones arising the course of historical development. A cartographic analysis of open-air retail trade spaces is carried out. An attempt is made to classify historical stages in the evolution of the city’s retail environment supported by a typological and cartographic analysis of the objects under study. It is claimed that problems associated with the location of shopping zones, caused not only by the city's planning structure but also by the conceptual treatment of retail facility forms, determine the current state of the built environment and require solutions using urban planning modeling of retail trade organization in the city.
