HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT (ON THE EXAMPLE OF ASTANA)

Abstract

At the moment, urbanized spaces are actively growing and changing. They are constantly evolving in accordance with the changing needs of society. The most important part of any city is residential structures, typological groups of residential buildings, residential complexes, quarters and microdistricts. Changing the housing environment is an important aspect of the development of cities and society as a whole. The processes of transformation of the residential environment are directly related to the dynamically modernized culture of life. The geospatial and digital development of the city affects the established growth, changes it and gives it a new status. Today, historically established residential areas and buildings require reconstruction and renovation to adapt to the new requirements and needs of residents and guests of the city. Such a transformation involves not only physical changes, but also socio-cultural, economic and environmental aspects.

The presented article is aimed at revealing the features of the transformation of a particular period of the historical formation of residential space. The basis of the study is the study and analysis of historically formed space, as well as a review of materials developed on the basis of the theoretical views of domestic and foreign scientists who studied the spatial-temporal and socio-environmental aspect in the synthesis of transformable space.

In this regard, the issues of transformation of a specific urban-planning territorial unit in the course of the historical formation of spatial changes in the environment over a certain period of time are touched upon. The issues considered in the work cover the time boundaries of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and are aimed at identifying the features of Akmola, modern Astana and transforming housing structures.
