| Title of the article | Kazan – resources and prospects of polycentric development |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The article is devoted to the consideration of the transition from a monocentric spatial model of the development of a large city to the formation of a territorial polycentric structure. The study is relevant for the city of Kazan as a reflection of a new stage in the spatial development of the city. Results. The main results of the research consist in developing a methodology for identifying and forming centers of functional concentrations that are formed in the middle and peripheral zones of the urban structure as the core of the planning (or administrative) areas and equalize the functional imbalance characteristic of the monocentric model. The centers become «catalysts» for the development of urban development and gradually «pull» adjoining urban fabric. The methodology is tested on the local territories of the city of Kazan, in particular, the existing structure and resource potential of the Volga region, its main spatial, socio-economic characteristics, as well as the opportunities and limitations in their development are explored. Conclusions. Thus, in the authors study on the topic «The Polycenter of a large city (based on the example of the Kazan municipal formation)», a conceptual apparatus is constructed that most accurately reflects the essence of the ongoing processes of spatial development of the citys territory. A methodology is developed step by step revealing the essence of research, design actions for identifying zones of functional Concentration and the formation of centers of planning or administrative areas, as well as approbation of the developed methodology on the example of the Kazan municipal formation. |
