The article deals with the phenomenon of humanity and the chronotope of its rehabilitation through the representation of modern metropolis. The author presumes that the actualization of humanity should allow to overcome social alienation, social deviations, and should contribute to the integrity and stability of personality. This process is transcendental because it is based on individual focus on transpersonal forms of cognition. The chronotope of humanity rehabilitation allows to reveal the rhythm of relations between internal life of a social agent as its own and urban social habitat where people can consolidate their specific reality. Metropolis is a result of human activity. That's why the dynamic of metropolitan social life modifies space-time relations of individuals' and societies' objective reality. The image of metropolis is an indicator of this process. This image is a product of creative activity of metropolitans and at the same time the subject of influence on urban communities. In this article the author discovers the ontological essence of urban image. At same time the author considers that metropolitans can transform social and cultural space of the city, and presumes that the modeling of urban image leans on social and cultural context of metropolis and at the same time on filling the city space with personal meanings. The key to this process consists in people's sense of interconnection, the consolidation of their collective identity. This aspect of representation of modern metropolis includes the commitment to social legacy, when the residents are subjects of changing in the agenda of the metropolis development. At the end author concludes that the problem of rehabilitation of humanity in metropolis in modeling of its images is neglected, and thus requires an advanced research.
