For many centuries, people have been looking for opportunities to formulate their educational potential in scientific research, and the complex historical process in which higher education was formed, its combination with scientific activity and the results - implementation in scientific production in the creation of promising scientific towns has been analyzed. As an example in Ukraine, Akademmistechko in Kyiv was considered. In the article, pay attention to the incomplexity of all processes that have developed today in education, science, and knowledge-intensive production. The main problem is the separation and inconsistency in their activities. The functional structure of the Academy town was considered for the purpose of carrying out innovative transformations both spatially and in the system of activity and management. It is the creation of a common educational-scientific-production space accessible to all spheres of society, both in the country and in other countries, that is the main strategic idea and the unique basis for the formation of the city-wide space of the city of Kyiv, which is Akademmistechko. Creation of an educational and scientific town in the spatial structure of the city as a self-sufficient perspective, innovative space of the international level. The article highlights the main stages of innovative transformations and proposes a model of the future "Academic City".

The constant growth of the urban population has led to a number of serious social, economic and environmental problems. Due to the density of urban development, there is almost no space left for greenery, parks, squares. Not only urban recreational areas are being reduced, but also suburban green areas, which act as green urban belts. Such green belts are a source of oxygen, a zone of conservation of biodiversity of phyto- and zoocenoses, migration routes for biota from the urban environment to the natural and vice versa. In addition, they maintain the climate balance of the urban system, protecting it from wind, temperature changes, flooding, landslides and floods. Currently, the urban system spreads horizontally and vertically, which dramatically reduces the attractiveness of the landscape. The situation is complicated by economic reasons: the cost of land in the city center is very high. Therefore, it is more profitable to give it for construction, rather than creating recreation areas. Due to the lack of green areas in the central areas, there is an effect of "heat island" of urban centers, when the temperature difference between the central urban and suburban areas is about 4… 7 ° C. Factors that change the microclimate of urban coenoses also include: air pollution (change in its composition, which is expressed in an increase in the content of solid suspended particles and gaseous impurities); change in heat transfer due to the closed horizon, thermophysical properties of urban surfaces (heat capacity, reflectivity of impurities); artificial formation of heat flows during heating, operation of vehicles, at industrial enterprises. Economic and environmental problems of cities lead to social ones, when the level of chronic diseases increases, the psycho-emotional state of a person deteriorates, and the birth rate decreases. Therefore, modern cities need to use modern energy-efficient technologies on roofs - "green structures", conservatories and greenhouses, which are able to solve environmental, economic and social problems.
