Modern components of the urban environment do not interact with each other, creating "chaos" and a large amount of "visual garbage" (billboards, signs, showcases), which significantly degrades the appearance of the city, visually altering the space and leading to the loss of its historical identity. Even the updated town planning regulations do not solve the problem of aesthetic appearance of urban public space and urban environment in particular. In general, public spaces require identification, implementation modern requirements for urban spaces and further development, firstly, to improve the comfort of their residents, secondly, to increase the attractiveness of businesses in them, and, of course, to the attractiveness tourist of cities in general. This problem can be solved through the creation of unified approaches to the formation of urban space using the principles of urban design.The article is snowing the possibilities of improving the aesthetic appearance of the urban environment, which it is are based on the principles of "urban design". The theory of "urban design" refers primarily to the design and management of public space ("public environment", "public sphere" or "urban space"), the method and the functional appointment of its use. "Urban design" includes public space, which contains a set of environments that are daily used by city dwellers: streets, squares, parks, squares and public infrastructure, as well as the facade of all buildings. «Urban design» combines many areas of local formation, environmental stewardship, social justice and economic viability in creating attractive, open-to-the-user places with a personal identity.
