Abstract
Throughout the long history of urban construction, citizens have been united by a common aspiration — to live in a beautiful city and a comfortable urban environment. Many generations of urban planners have sought to answer this question, but it has not been possible to answer it definitively even today. This is confirmed by the acute controversy being conducted in society today by participants in the urban planning process, including architects, urbanists, economists, urban planners, stakeholders, urban defenders, officials and ordinary citizens. At the same time, urbanism is often the subject of controversy — a concept that has an interdisciplinary nature and expresses an attitude to issues related to urban planning. Taking into account the exceptional importance of urban planning in ensuring the quality of life of the population, the article discusses issues related to clarifying the concepts of “urbanism” and “urban planning”, and also substantiates the need to create an educational program on this topic.
