Abstract

Due to the high level of urbanization, there is a high demand for the creation of comfortable places for recreation near the water. Modern embankments not only provide leisure for people, but also allow to ensure their physical activity, in particular, thanks to the creation of sports grounds and recreation sites. However, embankments in cities do not fully satisfy the needs of the population.Purpose: The data systematization of embankment zoning and improvement.Methodology/approach: Terminological and theoretical comparative analyses, functional and planning, typological, regulatory and legal analysis, questionnaire, survey.Research findings: Locations and infill of new, rarely used functional areas on urban waterfronts are developed with respect to the needs of the population.Originality: Embankments in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Belgorod, Orenburg, Orel in Russia and Marina Bay (Singapore), Hornsbergs Strand Park (Stockholm), Waitan (Shanghai) abroad are theoretically evaluated in terms of their functionality. Scientific and practical recommendations are given to location and filling of functional zones, which are currently new and rare.
