Inclusion of specific rural architectural and planning forms in the urban structure of Moscow is analysed. As a theoretical background, theories of Garden-Cities (Howard, 1902), Rural-urban continuum (Sorokin, Zimmerman, 1929), Slow city (Mayer, Knox, 2009) are considered. Inclusion of rural architectural and planning forms is analysed for different structural elements of Moscow's urban environment -public spaces, industrial areas, residential areas, street and road network. Authors argue that once included into the structure of the city, rural planning and architectural forms do not disappear, but after the termination of the implementation of their parent species and ways of life, which are really related to agriculture and other "non-urban" activities, they are transformed for integration into urban life and the environment, contributing to an increase in their diversity. This pattern can be traced consistently, at least, from the XVIII century.Key words: rural architectural and planning forms, urban planning structure, urban development, urban environment, public spaces, industrial areas, residential areas, street and road network, Moscow.Аннотация: На примере Москвы в статье анализируется включение сельских архитектурно-планировочных форм в городскую среду. В качестве теоретической базы проводится анализ теорий «Города-сада» Э Говарда (Howard,1902), «Сельско-городского континуума» (Sorokin, Zimmerman, 1929), «Медленного города» (Mayer, Knox, 2009). Включение сельских форм анализируется для различных структурных элементов городской среды Москвы -общественных пространств, производственных территорий, селитебных территорий, улично-дорожной сети. Делается вывод, что, однажды сложившись в структуре города, сельские архитектурные и планировочные формы не исчезают, но после прекращения реализации породивших их видов и способов деятельности, реально связанных сельским хозяйством и другими «негородскими» видами деятельности, они трансформируются для интеграции в городскую жизнь и среду, способствуя увеличению их разнообразия. Эта закономерность устойчиво прослеживается, по крайней мере, с XVIII века.Ключевые слова: сельские архитектурно-планировочные формы, городская планировочная структура, городское развитие, городская среда, общественные пространства, производственные территории, селитебные территории, улично-дорожная сеть, Москва.

The article analyzes the impact of cultural tourism on the development of municipalities in depressed regions through case-study of the small town Plyos in Ivanovo oblast in Russia. The town-planning composition of Plyos is determined by the Volga river and the complex highly rugged relief. The unique combination of architecture and natural landscape makes the town and its surroundings attractive for cultural tourism development. The connection between the development of culture and tourism in Plyos has been noted since the beginning of the 1970s. Since then, from decade to decade, these spheres have constantly strengthened each other’s development. A number of market factors have been identified for effective involvement of historical heritage and cultural landscape in various types of cultural tourism and their transformation into a resource for sustainable development of the settlement. These market factors can be summarized into three groups: marketing, institutional and investment. The bet on market-based and diversified development of cultural tourism made by the authorities of the municipality and the region in 2005 has produced significant positive results by 2020. The structure of cultural tourism in Plyos has changed qualitatively, and the importance of event and creative tourism has grown significantly. Over the past 4–5 years, the tourist flow has changed radically in the direction of a significant increase in the share of individual and most solvent categories of tourists. Increasing the duration of cruise ship stay and lengthening the period of attendance in Plyos for individual tourists provides an increase in the load of tourist infrastructure in the summer season, and the boom in expensive seasonal real estate and the expansion of the offer of services for types of tourism related to cultural, contribute to leveling the seasonal load. However, these successes have a downside, when Plyos is an “island of prosperity” in the “economic desert” of its depressed regional environment. There are several ways in which it is possible to influence the development of a depressive surroundings. For the Ivanovo region, Plyos acts as a “point of entry” for investments in the tourism sector, a promoter of all-Russian events in the field of cultural tourism and a market place for products of local producers, including products of world-famous art crafts.
