Scientific Aspects of the Study of Transcontinental Relations and Global Settlement

Abstract

A critical review of urban planning scientific aspects of the study of the globalization of settlement systems, including the impact of cross-border and transcontinental links on global urban and interethnic integration and communication processes, is presented. A brief description of the evolution of antagonistic urban planning concepts of studying the trends in the organization and development of macro-regional and global forms of settlement, their interrelationships, and interdependencies, as well as an analysis of the impact of these concepts on the formation of global communication relations, is given. Urban planning is defined as an interdisciplinary science of complex forecasting and planning of world settlement systems and their elements. The interrelation of the seven “principles–compromises” as urban planning principles of ensuring a sustainable balance in the interests of present and future generations is presented. Two urban planning methods of conflict resolution within the framework of the problem under consideration are proposed, based on the modeling of territories of partnership relations and the formation of global settlement based on the development of the uniqueness of territories.

Review of Models for and Socioeconomic Approaches to the Formation of Foresight Control Mechanisms: A Genesis

“…The content of the study based on system analysis should be represented by the decomposition of the goal into subgoals, functions to identify the object of study for various purposes, and sectors of activity from the environment [100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116]. The element of mechanism decomposition in systems theory can include procedures for diagnosing the problems of insufficient efficiency, innovativeness, and sustainability of enterprises in the conditions of their separate functioning outside of stable links with agglomeration objects.…”

Trends in spatial planning of cities

“…Such projects should be maximally focused on predicting probabilistic development and be more flexible than territorial planning documents. The result is the approval by many cities and regions of the following projects or strategic urban planning models: a concept or strategy for spatial development; a master plan for the development of the territory; a comprehensive scheme for creating a comfortable urban environment [4][5][6].…”
