Boltaevsky, A. A., Pryadko, I. P. The Problem of Modern Urban Planning From the Point of View of Conclusions Made in Architectonics

Abstract: The authors of the article analyze tendencies in modern urban studies from the point of view of the controversion ‘rationally manageable — spontaneous’. The researchers offer their evaluation of such tendencies in urban development as de-urbanization, de-industrialization, comprehensive planning, legal regulation of economic issues and conversion of urban industrial enterprises. Evaluation of modern social phenomena are carried out based on the theory of the automated society offered by Adam Schaff. The tendencies and directions in the development of modern post-industrial city as these are viewed by the researchers demonstrate that there is a whole range of unsolved problems in modern urban studies. The direction of this socio-cultural dynamics is rather controversial and contradictory. According to the authors, only time will show which tendency — spontaneous development or planned development — prevails. There is only one thing which is quite clear though: today’s architects and architectonic experts have failed to control the spontaneous development or manage the processes that have been going on in cities over the last decades by engineering or municipal governance. We still have to answer the challenges of the industrial age.
