Comfortable urban environment as the determining factor of the development of megapolises

https://doi.org/10.22394/1726-1139-2018-11-166-173

Abstract

The paper examines the impact of the development of large urban agglomerations on the welfare and quality of life. The attractiveness of megacities from the standpoint of increasing urbanization, the concentration of investment resources and the accumulation of industrial, financial and business centers in them today do not unequivocally affect the well-being and comfort of human living. Converting the wealth accumulated by the megalopolis into an attractive living environment becomes an elusive problem that requires research into the main factors and parameters of comfortable urban living. The method for evaluating megacities presented in the paper on the basis of the comfort parameters of the urban environment that we form allows us to identify areas of the necessary improvement, or the conversion of wealth into the quality of life.
