Modern Classification of Mixed-use Residential Complexes

Abstract

The relevance of the research topic is that the placement of mixed-use residential complexes in large cities plays a vital role in spatial planning from a combination of a large number of functions, which are the basis for the improvement of the settlement, taking into account the needs of the population. The purpose of this study is to form a classification of mixed-use residential complexes and their architectural and planning structure on the basis of Astana, the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The authors used a set of general scientific research methods, in particular: factual analysis, synthesis, generalization, induction, abstraction. The article analyses the role of mixed-use residential complexes in modern conditions of active urbanization. The necessity of modernization of complex plans of existing residential areas is grounded. A number of problems in the field of normative regulation of urban planning norms and standards is characterized. Modern trends affecting the formation and classification of mixed-use residential complexes of cities in the Republic of Kazakhstan were substantiated. A number of factors justifying the essence of the concept of "mixed-useity" were determined. A group of basic urban planning principles, which are taken into account the formation of residential complexes, was analysed. The modern classification of mixed-use residential complexes was defined by the example of the city of Astana. The general classification of mixed-use residential complexes takes into account all the external and internal factors of a large city, not only the norms of architectural and planning structure. This research provides a valuable foundation for future research in urban planning and architecture, with the potential to inform policy and practice in cities both in Kazakhstan and globally.
