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.
