Abstract Urban economy is a field which is currently not too reflected among the professional public. However, it is a significant criterion for the planning of future urban development. The representatives of each domicile should be interested in what resources are invested into the development and operation of their municipality. Suitably applied tools and regulations can control urban development and the overall financial operation of a town, and make operations more efficient. This article tries to point out the main factors which presently substantially negatively impact the overall urban economy of municipalities.

The article discusses the role of the social context in the evolution of implemented urban development utopia. The ontological and morphostructural problems of one of the implemented urban development utopias on the example of the city of Togliatti are revealed. It was established that the general plan of the Avtozavodsky district of Tolyatti, which fully met the ideals of the Athenian Charter, came into conflict with the idea of the city as a concentrated environment. It is noted that modern Togliatti is in search of a solution to the problem of the integrity of the urban structure. The conclusion is drawn: overcoming the crisis state of Togliatti lies in the field of generating, including new utopias; integration of existing morphostructures; reinforcing redundant conceptuality of form with contextual content. A new morphological unit is proposed - this is macro frame, which is based on multilevel integration of traffic and pedestrian flows.

The development of modern cities is subject to many influences. These include social and cultural inspirations, whose impact results from the local will to adopt new trends, such as the currently popular demands of the postmodern world. Among other things, they promote initiatives intended to integrate urban communities. Cooperation between inhabitants results in the development of urban communities and creation of urban common goods, offering specific types of benefits, such as collective benefits. The purpose of this article is to define and establish the concept of collective benefits substantively among the achievements of urban economy. It has to be stressed that economic relationships which arise in the processes of integrating city users deserve special attention, because the relationships connecting them contribute to the development of unique conditions for living and conducting business. They can be regarded as a broadly understood set of agglomeration economies.


Sustainable development of large cities and megacities is ensured due to coordinated implementation of program activities in priority sectors of the urban economy. The traditional driver of Moscow’s development and the link for such sectors of the economy is the construction complex, which together with the complex of urban economy, carrying out the improvement of the entire city infrastructure, forms a new urban environment and a modern space for life. The implementation of such a multi-component goal has predetermined a new urban development policy of the city, including the complex of works on construction, reconstruction and renovation of capital objects and territories with supporting engineering, social and transport infrastructure, comprehensive improvement of urban spaces, as well as a number of measures for capital repairs of buildings and structures. The article discusses the methodical approaches and the main results of research dedicated to the urban development of the capital.

The anthropogenic impact on the Earths climate system is currently one of the main factors determining climate change on all spatial scales, from local to global. A lot of scientific research is devoted to the direct and indirect influence of various types of human activity on the state of the Earths climate system. Using different climate models, feedbacks that enhance or weaken anthropogenic effects in the process of global warming have been studied in enough detail. Developed in recent years regional models of climatic and meteorological processes are allowing to describe in detail the climate features in urban agglomerations and the role of feedback in the development of mesoscale atmospheric processes. This review is devoted to the description and analysis of mesoscale feedbacks in the climate system, including the energy consumption of an urban economy that depends on climatic and weather conditions, and the role of these feedbacks in the formation and dynamics of urban climate and the needs of the urban economy in energy supply.

This paper tries to set recent developments in the UK in a wider spatial and historic context relating them to their underlying economic processes. By a better understanding of the forces acting on cities and a recognition of the broad patterns of change, we can gain some insight into future developments. Is further decentralisation and ex-urbanisation inevitable? Is the decline of the manufacturing sector of the urban economy a catastrophe from which cities cannot recover? What are the implications of the growth of the service sector for future patterns of urban development? How can policy assist the revitalisation of Europe's cities? These are some of the questions with which this paper is concerned.

In the conditions of modern urban economy, much attention is paid to the formation of dynamic potentials in order to ensure its sustainable development. Natural and economic activity in urban nature management, taking into account the environmental component, is extremely important in the formation of a model of all its components and acquires the postulate of efficiency.

Tesis para optar al grado académico de Magíster en Desarrollo Urbano, Instituto de Estudios Urbanos y Territoriales, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2013ResumenEste artículo se enfoca en las causas de la localización residencial de laurbanización informal, particularmente en el espacio de las quebradas y sus laderas, en Valparaíso entre los años 1820 y 1880. El texto busca reconocer el rol estructural de la urbanización informal, producida principalmente por los grupos provenientes de la ruralidad chilena, en la conformación de la ciudad de Valparaíso. Por otro lado, se pretende relevar la relación entre relieve físico del suelo y su valor comercial, entendiéndolo como uno de los principales factores que determinaron, y determinan actualmente, la configuración del suelo urbano en esta ciudad.Palabras clave: Urbanismo, Relieve, Valparaíso, Localización residencial. Aspects of social development in the city:Valparaiso, 1820-1880AbstractThis article focuses on the causes of informal urbanization settlements, particularly in ravines and hillsides in the case of Valparaiso between 1820 and 1880.
