The influence of the construction of railway stations of the Petergof railway on the architectural and planning development of the territories adapted to them (on the example of the Strelna railway station)

This article discusses the architectural and planning development of the territories adjacent to the railway station «Strelna» (in the context of other stations), including visual and planning changes. The description of the architectural and planning development of the adopted territories was made according to differentiated stages, three stages were identified (1848-1857, 1858-1890, 1891 - present). For each of the stages, schemes of architectural and planning development of the territories adjacent to the station under study were drawn up. On the diagrams, dominants, compositional nodes and axes that have developed by the described time periods are marked. Based on the results of the study of the schemes of all stages, conclusions were drawn on the impact of the construction of the railway stations on the development process of the studied territories.
