Urban planning tasks and principles of transformation of the planning and transport framework of urbanized territories of eastern Ukraine

Abstract

The article analyzes the principles and tasks related to the transformation of the planning and transport framework of urbanized areas of eastern Ukraine in the context of post-war recovery. The structural consequences of the hostilities are deindustrialization and degradation of settlements, which arose due to a significant outflow of population, destruction of infrastructure and exhaustion of the resource base. The impact of the war on changes in the planning and transport framework of urbanized areas of Luhansk region is investigated. The key factors that will influence the development of the region, including economic, socio-political, demographic and environmental factors, are identified.

An analysis of the transport framework of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, whose role is crucial for the recovery of the region, is carried out. It is established that current conditions require modernization of existing transport networks, elimination of bottlenecks and adaptation of the system to new realities. The necessity of forming promising transport corridors and implementing strategies based on comprehensive plans for the spatial development of communities is substantiated. The determining factors remain the terrain and the conditions for the formation of a border region with limited transport links to the east.

Prioritization of measures to create sustainable urban development is based on a combination of safety, environmental friendliness, transport accessibility and convenience for the population of communities. Particular emphasis is placed on the reuse of construction waste in the process of road construction and engineering arrangement, which will contribute to the restoration of infrastructure and the creation of development clusters. The conclusions emphasize the need for a systematic approach to the region's recovery, starting with the modernization of the planning and transport framework and the implementation of long-term development strategies. The region's significant potential lies in its planning and transportation framework, developed transport infrastructure, and the availability of convenient industrial sites. A rational strategy for the region's recovery should begin with regional comprehensive spatial development plans. Particular attention should be paid to the modernization of the transport network, taking into account the actual and prospective population of cities, the strategy for the restoration of city-forming enterprises, and regional development schemes.
