Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №3 (79) September, 2022

Interest in the problem of the structural organisation of a city and its suburban zones that in aggregate form the actual boundaries of the built-up area has been there for a long time. From the mid-20th century, big cities became an important object of research and wide discussions in geography, planning, and regional policy. Currently it is assumed that postindustrial cities are more promising and suitable for residence in modern society. Whereas in an industrial city there was a clear division into functional zones: work, leisure and habitation, in modern megacities these functions make up a single whole. Postindustrial cities are not only more livebale but they are also economically more efficient.
