Abstract

Parks of culture and recreation occupy a special place in maintaining the ecological balance in the urban environment, due to their location and large territory. However, in the existing park facilities, opened in the Soviet period, the condition of the appearance has noticeably deteriorated, the former grandeur of architectural forms and landscapes has been lost. With the change in ownership, the multifunctionality and accessibility of object zones located in the park space has been lost. The study examined the developments of designers in the field of architectural and landscape design, specialists studying the sociological, communication, technological and economic issues of the functioning of public spaces in the urban environment. The relevance of this study lies in the need to reboot the architectural and landscape design of parks, which must meet the requirements of the time; in the development of a certain approach to the application of pre-project analysis methods for the renovation of parks as public spaces. The study provides a brief historical background on the origin and development of park culture, and examines in detail the principles and methods of designing park areas at the present stage. Using the method of environmental pre-project analysis, a new view of the park is proposed as an environmental object that ensures the full satisfaction of the needs of a modern person. The presented experience of park renovation is interesting and accessible for use in practical activities when creating a multifunctional aesthetically complete environment based on a natural complex.
