ANTHROPOGENIC FACTOR AS A PRINCIPLE OF FORMATION OF THE URBANIZED LANDSCAPE OF THE FUTURE

Abstract

The process of urbanization, which contributes to the emergence of global and local challenges, is considered. The nature and essence of the challenges reflect anthropogenic problems inherent in the development of the philosophy of science as an image of its future and culture. Urban planning, being an applied science of regulation and planning of the urbanization process, is explored through emerging challenges and theories responding to them. In this paradigm, there are two approaches to defining the anthropogenic factor: as a negative result and as a set of consequences of human activity. The latter is generally accepted due to the universality of tools for evaluating the results of urban development activities. Thus, the anthropogenic impact can be investigated in the context of citizens' quality of life standards, new urban planning policy and environmentally oriented solutions. The process of terraforming as a form of conscious landscape organization is based on the goal-setting of urban planning activities, characterized by relativity and formal limitations. In this regard, there are trends in the formation and development of urban planning systems, leading to the accumulation and entrenchment of negative results of anthropogenic influence and the progressive implementation of urban planning solutions. To overcome the challenges, a qualitative rethinking of the development of the urbanized landscape and the anthropogenic factor of urban development is required. The author's approach to defining the theory of planetarity in order to conduct urban planning activities, as well as the image of a future progressive urban planning system, is proposed.
