Content analysis of the category of effective use of urban territory

Abstract

At the present time, Russia is actively developing mechanisms for integrated territorial development, the main purpose of which is to increase the efficiency of the use of urban areas. The analysis of scientific literature has revealed many different formulations of this concept, however, the most rational way to reveal the meaning of the category of effective use of territories is to divide it into several components. The efficiency of using urban territory as a complex category includes its key components: social efficiency, economic efficiency, architectural and planning efficiency, infrastructural efficiency, sanitary and environmental efficiency and investment efficiency. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, it was determined that in the context of solving the problems of urban development and socio-economic development of the territory as a whole, it is advisable to consider investment efficiency as a basic element of urban development. At the same time, it should be noted that in a large number of cases, urban development projects are not commercial, in such cases investment efficiency is achieved either through mechanisms and means of state support, or by including elements in the content of the project that ensure investment efficiency. A number of principles that contribute to the efficiency of territorial development were also identified. On the basis of the study it was concluded that the problem of managing the development of urban areas to a significant extent can be reduced to ensuring an optimal balance between the individual aspects of urban planning efficiency, the basic one of which is investment efficiency, in the context of project implementation, taking into account strategic goal setting and ensuring the sustainability of urban planning environment.
