THE FORMATION OF AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT QUARTER OF THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS AS PART OF THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE DEPRESSED PRODUCTION AREA OF THE KRASNY OKTYABR METALLURGICAL PLANT IN VOLGOGRAD

Abstract

Today, Russian cities face the task of creating and developing sovereign technologies through the introduction of a network of interuniversity campuses. Not all cities have the ability to integrate a campus into a dense urban structure. At the same time, in recent decades, modern megacities have faced a complex of problems related to the degradation of territories of former industrial zones, high traffic load, air pollution and a shortage of recreational areas in conditions of compaction of buildings. Inefficient use of territories and a low level of environmental safety reduces the quality of life of citizens. These challenges require a revision of traditional approaches to the planning and renovation of urban areas. As an alternative to traditional zoning (residential areas, industrial zones, city center, recreational areas), a model of selfsufficient territorial units like university campuses based on the mixed-use format is proposed. Its structure harmoniously combines residential, recreational, educational and industrial functions, ensuring maximum accessibility and integration of various spheres of life. Such a model will make it possible to comprehensively solve the problems accumulated in cities and create a more sustainable, energy-efficient and balanced urban environment. The article examines: the historical path of campuses in the world, from the origin of the term to its transformation; the world experience of applying the university model in depressed territories and the analysis of the former industrial territory of the Krasny Oktyabr Metallurgical Combine in Volgograd. The authors propose to place one of the variants of the conceptual proposal of the interuniversity campus on the former industrial territory with an assessment of the prospective development of the territory.
