Characteristics and problems of the standardization of urban design in the development of urban underground space

Abstract

The current situation and national features of technical regulation (standardization) of preparation of planning solutions for the development of urban underground space are considered. The article describes the history of the issue and examines the wording of the draft Code of rules "buildings, structures and complexes underground. Rules of town-planning design". The purpose of the analysis was to assess the effectiveness of the draft Code of rules, identifying the problems of standardization at the planning level. The analysis was carried out in conjunction with the directions of improving legal regulation. It is concluded that before the removal of legal barriers, the approval of the draft Code of rules is premature. The results of the analytical stage showed the presence of system defects of standardization for this urban level and identified their causes. On this basis, General proposals for the elimination of such defects are given and the specifics of finalizing the draft Code of rules are proposed. These recommendations can be useful for the developer, the state customer, the executor of the draft Code of rules, as well as for representatives of the expert community.

Development of the under-channel space of the center of Moscow: reducing regulatory risks

“…Thus, the draft concept as a whole meets the general provisions of SP 473 SP 473, as well as the typology and general organization of the UUS, despite the fact that the specific requirements for the development of the sub-branch space of SP 473 does not contain (this circumstance, together with other shortcomings, implies a corresponding revision of this document [5]).…”

“…In general, the focus of the Draft Concept corresponds to the current strategic direction of sustainable spatial development, as well as such basic provisions of the approved General Plan of Moscow [5] in terms of the development of UUS as:…”

“…However, such work is actively carried out on the initiative and with the participation of the author of this article. Specific proposals for amendments and additions to a number of federal codes and laws, including those related to urban planning, land and subsoil use, have already been substantiated and prepared [5].…”

“…This means that, first of all, the proposed development of the canal territory should be reflected as a goal setting in the strategic planning documents of the city of Moscow (strategies, programs). However, unfortunately, they are still very poorly focused on the development of urban underground space and of course do not contain provisions on the development of the territory under consideration [5]. In addition, the entire multi-stage procedure for preparing and approving the master plan must be maintained (the decision of the Moscow Government to prepare proposals for making changes to the master plan, conducting competitive procedures for public procurement, performing engineering surveys and preparing design and planning solutions with access to them, conducting public discussions or public hearings on the project of making changes to the master plan, taking into account the proposals of interested parties, necessary approvals, consideration and approval of amendments by the Moscow City Duma, etc.).…”

“…Similar studies in relation to the urban development of the development of sub-urban space have not been conducted in Russia before. The use of individual works by foreign authors is problematic due to the national Russian specifics of the system of legal and technical regulation of the development of UUS [5].…”
