Ways to improve the functional and spatial organization of Moscow’s social infrastructure

Abstract

Introduction. The urgency of improving the spatial and functional organization of the service sector of the Moscow population is due to the currently changing way and lifestyle, behavioral preferences of the population regarding the use of social infrastructure facilities. The existing functional composition and territorial accessibility of objects do not correspond to the needs and prospective requests of various socio-demographic groups of the population. The purpose of the study is to determine the principles of organizing the system of cultural and consumer services that meet the challenges of the current stage of the economic, socio-demographic, technological, urban development of the city. Materials and methods. The study used data from official statistics and field survey (collection of information about the territory, population, existing buildings, condition of objects), systemic, typological, functional and structural, statistical and comparative analysis. Results. An improved model of the functional planning organization of social infrastructure is proposed, which provides for the development of service facilities of two levels –– regional and interregional, differing in the frequency of visits by the population, the functional composition of objects. The placement of objects of the regional level, according to the model, is provided in microdistricts or planning areas, at the interregional level to ensure the capital’s functions –– in specialized territories. Taking into account the existing transport framework and the recommended spatial organization of social infrastructure in the system of built-up areas a system of city-wide centers of the following levels is proposed: agglomeration, inter-district, district. Conclusions. The transformation of the functional-spatial organization of social infrastructure in the proposed direction will create favorable conditions for the development of a system of cultural and consumer services, ensuring the comfort of li­ving, high quality of the urban environment, improving the quality of human capital.
