ACCOUNTING FOR KEY INDICATORS IN URBAN PLANNING

Abstract

The article analyzes the indicators used in the documents of territorial planning and city planning design standards. The authors consider the methodical aspects of accounting for key indicators laid down in sectoral and regional strategies and standards, as well as examples of evaluation of formulations for indicators of educational institutions development used in strategic planning documents, the use of the terms ‘accessibility' and ‘pedestrian and transport accessibility'. Standards of pedestrian and transport accessibility for areas with different population density require justification and clarification. Availability of pre-school education is one of the most important tasks associated with ensuring the comfort of the population. With a high population density, it is advisable to place several typical buildings with high capacity. If they are combined on one or two adjacent land plots, it is possible to reduce the normalized area, which is significant for high-density construction. Maximum pedestrian and transport accessibility limits need to be justified on the basis of population density. The increase in the radius of accessibility of more than 5 km is justified only by economic reasons, including the process of delivery of preschool children.
