Abstract

The planning structure of modern cities is complex. It includes diverse functional areas. At the same time, the increase of population in cities leads to the building density growth, but this process has its limits. Consequently, the adoption of new urban planning decisions on the functional zoning should be based on the objective assessment of the quality of the environment. In this regard, an important role belongs to the development of ecological monitoring systems, which should provide the most reliable information about the negative impact on the environment. The article describes different functional zones of cities, their properties and requirements for their environmental quality control.
