Statement of the problem. The aim of the study is to analyse the basic elements of creating visual comfort in the urban environment in the conditions of the renovation of the existing development of Russian small towns. Results. The main results of the research are the development of the syntactic context of architecture in urban space; the definition of the architectural language as the basis for the formation of compositional characteristics of visual comfort in urban space. Conclusions. The significance of the obtained results lies in the novelty of the approach to the mechanism of updating the architectural environment of cities based on the reform of the visual characteristics of the existing buildings; in the interpretation of architectural forms that reveal the original qualities of urban architecture. The use of the methodological basis of the mechanism of visual renewal of the architectural environment and the formation of urban space as a meaningful context that reveals individual characteristics to the viewer who is in the space of the city. At the same time, the visual-figurative context of the architectural environment of cities acquires a meaningful meaning, which allows us to comprehensively consider the process of renovation of existing buildings, including the tool for visual-spatial construction of architectural solutions.

In the agricultural sector, it is important to identify the main directions of investment in order to ensure the food supply for the country's population. One of the most important cases in this sector is ensuring the secure supply of meat and meat products. The state has to choose the most effective tools for supporting the development of indigenous producers and the industry in this sector. The security of the country's food supply is influenced by a large amount of quantitative and qualitative factors. Interaction of these factors and the necessary state support instruments in the meat sector is unevenly treated in the researches of the scientists and varies depending on the specifics of the development of the food sector in a country. The problem of the research is to find out and evaluate the main financial demands and investment directions of the state’s support programs for the support of Ukrainian meat’s sector, which could help secure the state’s demand for the food supply. The purpose of the research is to find out effective mechanisms for the state support and financing of the long-term projects aimed to ensuring the food security in the country. The methodology of research: analysis of research results of Ukrainian and foreign scientists and statistical information (2006–2018 m.). The information is grouped and structured to determine the forecast of meat consumption in Ukraine for 2020, the expected number of population and the determination of the missing quantities of this product in the country. The study provides a model for identifying the volume of long-term investments to ensure the food the security of the country’s supply of meat, identifying the main directions of these investments. The research was based on economic analysis and synthesis models, correlation-regression analysis, mathematic modeling method, etc. The results of research demonstrate the indicators of the food security in the country and determine the adequacy of the food consumption; also the estimation of the investment need for meat production by 2020 is carried out.
