The principles of sustainable development of architectural space of the Temernik River embankment in Rostov-on-Don (original) (raw)

The problem of sustainable development of embankments is multifaceted and complex. The article formulates the principles of sustainable development of the architectural environment of the embankment of the Temernik River in Rostov-on-Don. The authors of the article suggest a systematic approach to the organization of the environment in the project to create the embankment of the Temernik River to solve environmental problems in Rostov-on-Don. 1. Introduction Embankments in Russia appear recreation carrying capacity, which is not fully used. There is no functional development of a territory and waterside improvement, by that having negative impact on city-planning on the whole. A coastline in Russia is 65 thousand kilometers long. Embankments are space-occupying complexes, which occupy urban areas, related to urban development and river-and marine areas. Any site development in coastal territories is of short duration because of man-made and natural factors. Being the objects, which have geographical, ecological, economic and social components, coastal territories are to be in-depth studied in order to ensure sustainable development of their capacity [1]. Urban recreation zones of embankments have very important significance. It is arrangement of urban recreation zones, favorable microclimate, and fall in atmospheric temperature that is especially important for hot districts. The general problems for many cities are as follows: intensive urbanization process and development of coastal territories; expansion of transport infrastructure, loss of natural factors and landscape diversity of coastal stripes and water areas; levelling of architectural and landscape unicity, water levelling; loss of continuity in space development of urban environment; inaccessibility and neglected state of coastal territories; undeveloped territorial and functional resources, insufficient quantity of public spaces, recreation, tourism, physical training and sport, education, creative industries; loss of historic traditions, undervaluation of modern opportunities to bring water areas to urban life; lack of strategies and innovative methods of complex transformation and development of coastal territories within city-planning [1-4].
