The renovation of the housing stock is a most acute problem. Residential development quarters built in the 1950s-1980s had become morally and physically obsolete by the early 2000s. Civil facilities, especially cinemas, pre- school and school educational institutions, also require significant changes. The living environment in Russian cities – artificial environment – is in many ways disorganized, uncomfortable, and not focused on residents and their needs. Formed with a narrow typical approach to construction in the Soviet times and with a haphazard coverage of territories by construction in the post-Soviet years, it has become the obvious result of ill-conceived organization of urban development. In addition, the rapidly deteriorating technical condition of buildings and structures, coupled with outdated technology of their construction require a qualitatively different approach to creating a favorable, organic, comfortable and accessible environment for human life. The new approach in creating a comfortable urban environment offers a view of residential areas as a territory of multifunctional purpose, since modern residential areas, in addition to residential projects as such, include auxiliary facilities: elements of transport infrastructure, utility networks ensuring life processes, public areas and social institutions that maintain comfortable conditions of life.
