Since the industrial revolution of the 18th century, the modern economic system gradually matured and rapidly expanded in the world, especially the state capital investment relying on the railway, which drastically changed the urbanization process and city agglomeration pattern around the world. At the end of the 19th century, due to the important strategic value of the Far East, Russia raised state capital, built the Siberian Railway directly to Vladivostok, especially the C.E.R. across Northeast China, induced capital competition among China, Japan and Russia around the port and railway construction right and management right, formed the SMR system centered on Dalian, the C.E.R. system centered on Vladivostok, and the Chinese railway system centered on Huludao, laid the city structure of the “hub-railway network-hinterland” model centered on the port city in Northeast China, which promoted the development of commercial cities, hub cities and industrial and mining cities. Under the special tariff system, China, Japan and Russia relied on port-railway capital competition, forming the city development dynamic mechanism oriented by the export-oriented economy, that has the important theory value for how to effectively use the state capital advantage to promote the development of the macro-regional city system in the context of economic globalization.

First Session

The constitutional convention of Massachusetts which assembled in the city of Boston, June 6, 1917, and finally terminated its labors at a short session of two days in August, 1919, is the fourth body of this kind which the Old Bay State has had. The first convention was held in 1779 and 1780 in Cambridge and Boston, and formulated the constitution of 1780. This instrument, to which sixty-six amendments have been added, is the oldest written constitution now in force anywhere in the world. The second convention was held in 1820, and submitted a series of resolutions part of which were adopted and part rejected by the people. A third convention met in 1853 all of whose proposals were rejected. After an interval of sixty-four years, a fourth convention was called, which met in 1917 and again in 1918 and yet again in 1919. It submitted to the people twenty-two amendments and a revised draft of the constitution, all of which were accepted.The convention was composed of 320 delegates. Of these 16 were elected at large, 4 were elected by each congressional district, and the remaining 240 were elected from the districts created for the purpose of choosing members of the state house of representatives. They were elected without party designations, but before the election took place, the lines between the friends and the opponents of the initiative and referendum were rather sharply drawn, and this served practically all the purposes of party organization and designation. In fact, this question dominated the whole of the first session of the convention and overshadowed other questions which were probably of greater importance.

The article is devoted to the newspaper «Priishimye», published in 1913–1919 in the city of Petropavlovsk, Akmola region (the territory of Kazakhstan now). It was in this newspaper that the first publication of Vsevolod Ivanov took place (the poem “Winter”, 1915). In 1915– 1916, the newspaper published stories by Vsevolod Ivanov, Anton Sorokin, Kondraty Tupikov and other Siberian writers. The editor of the newspaper since 1914 was Leonid Stepanovich Ushakov (1886 – after 1957). There are published three of his letters to Kondrati Nikiforovich Urmanov (real family Tupikov; 1894–1976), stored in the City Center for the History of the Novosibirsk Book named after N. P. Litvinov (Novosibirsk). The letters were written and sent to the writer in 1957. After the 1920s – early 1930s, Ushakov was not associated with the world of literature; he worked in the system of the State Planning Committee of the USSR and dealt with issues of economy and national economy. The letters to Urmanov contain valuable information about the literary life of Siberia at the beginning of the 20 th century, as well as about the biography and personality of L. S. Ushakov.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the state of housing construction in the Kharkiv region and identify factors influencing the dynamics of its development. It is noted that the housing problem remains extremely relevant for the Kharkiv region where there is a large delayed demand for housing. Housing construction accelerates the growth of the gross domestic product of the region, employment of its population, growth of budget revenues. Factors influencing the amount of housing built are not constant and require periodic analysis. Statistical data of housing construction in Kharkiv region are investigated. It is noted that the area of housing commissioned has decreased in recent years. In 2012, half of the total area of residential buildings commissioned in the Kharkiv region fell on the city of Kharkiv. The last three years the area of residential buildings built in other cities and towns of the region is 17–30%. The leaders in housing construction among the cities of regional significance in different years were: Lyubotyn (2014), Izyum (2015, 2019), Kupyansk (2016-2017) and Chuguiv (2018). Among the districts, the most active housing construction is carried out in Kharkiv and Derhachiv districts. It is noted that the volume of construction work performed by enterprises of Kharkiv region in January-June 2020 amounted to 8.9% of the national volume, but the pace of construction of residential buildings decreased by 13%. The index of residential construction products for the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019 amounted to 88%. It is determined that the number of commissioned housing primarily on the amount of capital investment in the region and other factors influencing the dynamics of housing development, such as the socio-political situation in the country, the state of the economy, the availability of mortgage lending and others. The housing programs operating in the Kharkiv region to provide the population with their own housing are considered.

<p><em>Have your students ever asked who the state capital of Trenton is named for? That man, William Trent, built his country estate north of Philadelphia, in New Jersey, at the Falls of the Delaware River about 1719. It was a large, imposing brick structure, built in the newest fashion of the day. Nearby, there were numerous outbuildings as well as grist, saw, and fulling mills along the Assunpink Creek. In 1720 Trent laid out a settlement, which he incorporated and named “Trenton.” After changing hands numerous times, the Trent House opened as a museum in 1939. Today it is owned by the City of Trenton and operated by the Trent House Association. The William Trent House is a designated National Historic Landmark and is listed in both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Bring your classes to learn about colonial life, and challenge them to compare it to life as they know it today.

This chapter focuses on the sage Apollonius, from the city of Tyana in south-eastern Asia Minor, who gained fame for his wisdom and his extensive travels in the first century CE. In the following century Philostratus wrote a fictionalized biography of the sage, but it is nearly impossible to determine where fact ends and fiction begins. According to this biography, Apollonius travelled to the Far East and had discussions with the Brahmans of Taxila. Apollonius outdoes Alexander by travelling as far as Ethiopia and western Spain: even Heracles had only spanned the world from east to west. His ambit is the entire Roman empire. Though presented as a second, “holy” Alexander by Philostratus, Apollonius is also important as a historical “witness” for Hellenistic Taxila. How we judge this importance depends on the assessment of the historicity of Philostratus' account.

The great majority of cities in the world have resolved problem of acoustic zoning in the urban part of the city. Two approaches are usually applied in acoustic zoning: acoustic zoning of the territory in accordance with land-use where the allowed values of noise indicator are defined and acoustic zoning by preparing noise maps around dominant sources of noise in urban areas and defining land-use in relation to calculated isofonic lines. As international standard and internationally recognized methodology for preparation of acoustic zoning does not exist, the authors of this paper initiated preparation of methodology for acoustic zoning. The concept of methodology is demonstrated in this paperwork. The methodology has been applied on the City of Nis example starting from the specificity of Nis urban area as well as requests and goals that have been set and defined during sustainable planning of Nis City development. Based on defined acoustic zones and noise measurement results for five years period on the territory of Nis City, the evaluation of the condition of noise level has been done and this paperwork presents results obtained.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analysis of trends and formation of recommendations for the introduction of smart city technologies in the development strategy of the urban community. Methodology of research. The research methodology contains the following general scientific methods, namely: bibliographic – for the analysis and systematization of scientific works on the development of "smart" cities, modelling of their technological and information structures; historical and practical – to study the practical experience of introducing intellectual elements in the urban space; comparative – to determine the priorities of the components of the "smart city" model; abstract and logical – in forming conclusions and formulating recommendations. Findings. It is determined that the European model of smart city development provides for the introduction of such components as smart - economy, mobility, ecological approach to environmental protection; digital technologies; development of information, digital and general culture of residents; smart lifestyle; e-government. The world tendencies and Ukrainian practices of introduction of smart elements for digitalization of management of infrastructure of the city are analysed. It is determined that the technological solutions of a smart city are developed on the basis of Internet of Things technologies, active use of feedback principles, formation of data transmission infrastructure, data collection, processing and analysis systems. It is revealed that the introduction of smart technologies is carried out in fragments both in Ukraine and in the world. It is analysed that the development strategies of Ukrainian cities do not contain separate sections on the introduction of smart technologies. Ukrainian cities lag far behind in the pace of innovation and do not have separate strategies for the development of a smart city. It is proved that all stakeholders should have information on the formation of the city's development strategy and, in particular, its smart technologies, understands their level of responsibility and participation in decision-making mechanisms and implementation of the introduced technologies. Originality. The model of a smart city has been improved, taking into account trends in the development of smart cities and identifying priority areas for the development of smart technologies in the management of infrastructure and urban information environment. The information environment involves the use of a multi-loop information system to support the life of the city in various areas. Such a system contains the necessary functionality, as well as special emotional and motivating contours to increase the activity of citizens, ensure transparency of decision-making by city leaders and more. Practical value. The formed recommendations can be used by project groups of city councils for improvement of strategies of development of cities and development of scenarios of introduction of elements of system of the smart city. Key words: smart city, digital ecosystem, digital information environment, digital city development strategy, digital interaction services.
