Architecture and design of the urban environment in the context of changing the spatial behavior of residents of megacities

The modern functional and planning environment of megacities is undergoing significant changes under the influence of the restructuring of the system of needs of the population. New forms of territorial and spatial relations, forms of leisure activities, impressions from cultural and entertainment events, the active use of new formats of trade services and public catering, as well as the possibility of implementing a wide range of socio-cultural and commercial and household needs along the way, stimulate the masses of the population to visit shopping and entertainment centers and places of concentration of service facilities on shopping streets of cities. The formation of the most important functional planning nodes and spatial channels in the city largely depends today on the nature and intensity of the population's connections that characterize its spatial and consumer behavior. The active inclusion of interdisciplinary information about the socio-psychological and economic context of this phenomenon becomes the prerogative of forming a bank of pre-project information for the architect and designer of the environment during the development and implementation of programs to improve the urban environment and the most important objects of socio-cultural and commercial services of the population. The article examines the role of shopping streets as a powerful tool in the socio-functional and compositional-spatial rehabilitation of peripheral areas of the city, increasing their consumer value, investment and tourist attractiveness.
