Due to the modern principles of planning territories, it is possible to improve the comfort of cities and individual residential areas. Modern concepts are focused on high development density and compactness. Due to the compactness of the development of cities, the number of movements of the population around the city is reduced, which leads to a decrease in the load on the city transport system and allows you to use public transport more efficiently, and consequently reduces energy costs. The compactness of the development of cities makes more accessible services of trade, medicine, education, entertainment and other vital services. For the effective development of the city, the multifunctionality of the development of residential areas is very important. Today the monofunctional concept of the 20s is no longer relevant, in which, housing, place of work and rest, were very scattered in the city space.
Several problems at once solve the transition to mixed city development. The need for pendulum migration of people from housing to the place of work is leaving, as jobs will appear in residential areas. The problem of parking is also solved – in the day there are offices of office employees in the afternoon, and at night the residents of the district. Today in one area there may be residential buildings, and offices of offices, and shops with entertainment centers, and even industry enterprises. In such a multifunctionally built -up environment with intense and diverse communications, life boils all 24 hours a day.
