| Abstract. | Problem statement. Currently, there are ravine territories in the central part of Kazan that require complete or partial renovation to improve the architectural and urban appearance of the capital, its cultural and social development. The purpose of the research is to develop recommendations for the design of public spaces in ravine territories in the central part of Kazan. Research objectives: to study the central part of Kazan in order to identify ravine territories requiring renovation; cadastral analysis of the identified ravine territories; full-scale photographic fixation; study of historical and geological bibliographic sources on the research topic; study of world experience in designing ravine territories in the central part of cities. Results. The results of the research are the authors analytical graphical tables and text recommendations for them. Conclusions. In the framework of this study, it is assumed that the studied ravine territories solve various urban planning, functional and spatial tasks in the structure of urban development. The authors of the study propose to develop the social function of the ravine territories, taking into account the features of the relief and the problems of the existing surrounding development: – at the intersections of major highways it is appropriate to form a terraced public complex with an accent object at a high elevation of the ravine territory; – over the ravine area with railway lines in the central part of the city, it is appropriate to form pedestrian bridges with functional viewing platforms and recreation areas; – in areas with streets at different relief markers, it is appropriate to form a large public facility with different level entrances; – in ravine territories, among the existing residential developments, it is appropriate to form an internal park area for private recreation and rest. – in ravine territories developing along the red lines of development, it is appropriate to form picturesque recreational transit zones connecting the territory of courtyards with sidewalks located along highways. |
