Reconstruction of historic buildings as the key attraction of the city
Abstract
The current state of historic cities in Ukraine has revealed its problem, revealing the maturation of historical and cultural heritage. An important area of preservation of the historical and cultural heritage of cities is the reconstruction and renovation of modern historic cities and the restoration of buildings and structures -monuments of architecture, history and more.
To date, the rapid increase in population and the increasing needs of urban population necessitates permanent new construction and the use of historic buildings for housing and commerce. Preserving the most preserved architectural monuments will guarantee greater attractiveness and increase in the number of tourists within the city.
Over the past few decades, Lutsk has been significantly affected by urbanization, the development of which has little concern for the historical features of its architectural heritage. In particular, in the historic city center, rapid growth and modernization are rapidly replacing historical heritage with amorphous, modern and global projects.
Much of the buildings in the reserve are unfit, for example: houses on Bratkovsky and Drahomanov streets, Prizler’s house, the building of Lutsk Orthodox Fellowship of the True Cross and others. All of these and other sites in the historic city center need large-scale reconstruction.
The research revealed that a large part of the buildings in the historic part of Lutsk require major reconstruction. However, the reconstruction must be carried out taking into account the group of physical, socio-economic and socio-cultural factors of urbanization. In addition, work on the reconstruction of the historic building should be carried out only with regard to the purpose of the structures, their subsequent use and a harmonious combination with the surrounding buildings. It should be noted that local governments have an important role to play in overseeing the reconstruction of historic buildings.
