Abstract
The article examines the architectural and urban environment of St. Petersburg.
The aim of the work is to analyze and classify (typology) housing of the Soviet period (from the 1930s to the 1980s) to determine the compliance with the sustainable development of the territory (comfort and favorable urban environment), which is necessary for further reconstruction of the development of St. Petersburg.
The article considered the Kirovsky district (Nevskaya Zastava), as an example of the residential environment of St. Petersburg, as one of the oldest districts of the city, but with modern quarters present in it. Various types of living environment are widely represented at each of the stages of its development in the area. But the most capacious of the periods is the Soviet one from the 1930s to the 1980s, it is distinguished by a variety of types of housing development not only in this area, but throughout the city. This confirms the correctness of the period chosen for the analysis.
To achieve this goal, the existing systems for assessing the stability and comfort of the territory were analyzed, their main shortcomings and problems in use were described. International examples of urban areas that have a high rating or score in these systems are considered. The positive characteristics of the quarters from the point of view of the architectural and urban planning aspect are highlighted.
The results obtained make it possible to develop a model of a comfortable quarter or district and apply it as an assessment or methodology for determining the conformity between the comfort and favorableness of the urban environment. Which was clearly described on the example of the Soviet period of building up the quarters of the Kirovsky district in the city of St. Petersburg.

Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the principles of the use of building materials in the restoration of monuments of architectural and urban heritage. The basic properties of materials, classification and specificity of their application are indicated. As a result of the analysis, the most important role of the material in the formation of the architectural image of the object is justified. It is concluded that the material should be considered not only in the context of technical parameters, but also in terms of architectural and artistic characteristics. The attention is focused on the understanding of the authenticity of the object and on the operational properties of materials for decoration. It is noted that the choice of material should be based on the previous stage of material research, as a segment of a detailed survey of the technical condition of the structure.
