Being one of the few recreational zones outside the city centre, the Coziness Valley has a significant role for the future development of the urban area in Murmansk as it serves as a link between the northern and southern parts of the city. Currently, several issues such as the lack of public space, the absence of activities as well as ecological challenges prevent the valley from promoting the liveability of the urban environment. The project “Loop Park” aims to reorganise the space into twelve functional zones that are defined as “spatial loops”. These loops are connected through loop-shaped routes that imitate natural pathways and form space for physical activities and relieving mental stress. The general park composition is formed by a viewing platform – a ramp construction which connects the park to its surroundings, creates an additional dimension and protects the biodiversity of the lake.

The park is designed around four fundamental principles: identity, adaptivity, mobility and sustainability. Overground steam pipes in the west and transmission lines in the north shape the identity of the park. To emphasise the uniqueness of park identity and to improve the ecological footprint small wind turbines are placed for the microgeneration of electricity. The park’s adaptivity is realised through a multi-functional design of spatial loops that adapt to weather conditions as well as time. To ensure accessible mobility in the complex topography and during changing weather conditions stairs and steep slopes were replaced with ramps. Another goal of the park is to sensitise residents to ecological issues and sustainability. Therefore, the educational eco-village was designed. It contains lecture domes, a small farm, an educational centre, arboretum greenhouses, and a garden that aim to form an eco-friendlier society and to enhance residents’ affiliation to nature. Consequently, the “Loop Park” focuses not only on developing a recreational zone that connects different parts of Murmansk. The project also strengthens the community in the long-term by promoting an active, healthy lifestyle and improves the ecological footprint of the population beyond the borders of the Coziness Valley.

Balaklava, an administrative part of the city of Sevastopol, is analysed for its sustainable development opportunities through the implementation of a “Smart city” concept. Balaklava has unique natural and historical resources. However, according to the new urban planning documentation, those resources are mainly used for short-term economic benefits, and neglect the long-term development of the region. The research purpose is to gain experience in implementing the “Smart City” concept in the strategic development of Balaklava with a particular focus on energy efficiency of all components of its spatial model. Moreover, the aim of the thesis is to implement different ideas of the “Smart City” concept on several urban levels.

The greening analysis of the territory and analysis of the vegetation index illustrate
the lack of green areas inside the city. There is more greening outside the city, but
mostly there are private vineyards which are not accessible to the public. In
addition, unique green hills, which formed the city’s identity are now quite rocky. Moreover, there is a decline in the evergreen juniper plants listed in the Red Book.
Additionally, an analysis of sanitary and hygienic restrictions as well as pollution of the surface waters of the Balaklava Bay illustrates the neglection of the ecological situation in Balaklava. The diagrams show the negative impact of industrial areas
on the city as well as how the lack of treatment measures triggered the state of
water in the bay and the Black Sea.

The “Smart City” terminology of the turned out to be variable when it comes to its relationship to urban planning. Hence, there was a need for the adaptation of the concept to the particular issues regarding the urban transformation of Balaklava. Challenging territorial aspects and development opportunities were identified and transformed, taking into account the characteristics of the city. The matrix system creates the urban planning model as it presents a holistic approach for the development of the territory. The matrix is based on various functional and structural elements (along the horizontal axis) on different urban planning levels (along the vertical axis). Based on the analysis and the theoretical model, the project suggests an advanced transformation of the territory. It is proposed to implement the transformation on several levels — from a large to a small scale. Thus, a multi-layered holistic approach to the territorial implementation of principles and aspects is expressed in schemes that complement each other and help to better understand the concept.

Smart mobility: Mobility in Balaklava requires the development of an advanced network for sustainable public transport such as e-bus routes, on-water transport, cycling and walking routes, pedestrian embankment as well as a cable car connection with the city of Sevastopol.
Smart living : creation of jobs
Smart living: The project suggests to increase local employment opportunities in order to decrease the number of commuters which put high pressure on the transport network and the ecology. The realisation of social infrastructure can also improve the attractiveness and sustainability of the city.
Smart living: new social infrastructure
The reduction of mobility barriers can also be an important social factor, especially in an urban area. Projections of new spaces for active lifestyles and community farms aim to strengthen the social connection of the residents.
Smart ecology
Smart recreation
Smart heritage
Smart ecology: Cleaning the bay and improving the quality of the water, especially by cultivating marine organisms and plants, are the most significant tasks to improve the ecology. Additional greening of the coastal zones of Balaklava with salt tolerant juniper plants will not only increase air quality but also bolster the landscape. Local treatment facilities are proposed in the bay area of the city. Moreover, the plan includes the cleaning of the bay’s surface waters by prohibiting vehicles in the coastal zones of the bay and by promoting ecological water transport. The reuse of rainwater can also reduce the pressure on resources. Finally, the project proposes the recovery and conservation of the anthropogenic landscape including the restoration of the small urban river in Balaklava.
Smart recreation: It is suggested to increase the connections between several urban recreational zones and the embankment with the goal to create one unified recreational system. The restauration of the landscape and the bay area generates opportunities for further development of new urban and rural recreational zones. Furthermore, an active development of the aquaculture and wine industry can enhance agritourism and diversify the economy without creating an additional ecological load on the bay.
Smart heritage: There is a conflict between the cultural-historical landscape of Balaklava and its modern state. However, there are possible ways to strengthen the identity of the territory. Three main factors need to be balanced: cultural-historic landscape, residents, and tourists. The identity of the city is connected to the traditional industries in Balaklava – fishing and winemaking. Focusing the development on those traditional industries can bolster the identity of the territory and even create a brand. It is necessary to restore several destroyed urban landscapes as they are significant parts of Balaklava’s identity.

Smart energy: The geographic and economic conditions allow self-sufficient production of sustainable energy in Balaklava. Abandoned quarries can be transformed to photovoltaic power stations and solar parks. In addition, Balaklava had one of the most powerful wind farms during the pre-war era that was destroyed during the war. Due to the strong Black Sea winds it is suggested to restore and modernise those wind farms.
Proposed master plan
Functional zoning
Functional zoning is based on polycentricity. General changes are focused on densification of residential zones, creation of new public spaces, transformation of post-industrial and abandoned territories as well as protection of valuable landscapes and heritage. The transport infrastructure should support the proposed zoning. Hence, it is proposed to relocate the highway out of the city centre. The connectivity to Sevastopol should be strengthend through a cable car route and sustainable water transport. Proposed transport scheme

The practical seminar “City and Heritage: Dialogue and Mutual Influence” was organised as an inter-university workshop by the St Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering and the Moscow Architectural Institute. Graduate students from both universities conducted research and developed conceptual solutions for several challenges in three small cities on the shore of the Gulf of Finland. Zelenogorsk is a municipal town in Kurortny District to the North-West of St. Petersburg. The subject of the research was to create a comfortable environment in a small town, examine the town’s heritage and to elaborate new public spaces. As a result, a strategic direction to implement the cultural potential of the heritage in the urban planning process was outlined. Hereby, the formation of a comfortable public environment, preserving the historical and cultural identity of Zelenogorsk is pivotal.

Potential of the object: no heavy traffic
A fragment of the Zelenogorsk city centre with several historical buildings was selected for the creation of new public spaces. The former store of the Cooperative Enterprise of the Karelian Isthmus (1933) and the Krupennikov House (1905) compose the architectural heritage of the selected location. Both buildings were created by Finnish architects, Erkki Huttunen and F. Maritza respectively. The courtyards of these buildings create a quite space in contrast to the busy Lenin Prospect with heavy traffic. The goal of the project is to create a new public space to restore the identity of a resort town which Zelenogorsk already gained during the Finnish period when it was named Teriyokki. In a conducted survey, the residents confirmed the negative impact of lacking public space - especially for young people - for the development of the city. Therefore, the focus of the project is the creation of safe and quiet pedestrian routes combined with public spaces for the youth.

Type: Course project / Team Date: November 2018 - January 2019 Location: Saint Petersburg, Russia Partners: Ekaterina Isakova Scientific supervisor: Natalya Nikolaevna Zheblienok
The course project in “Urban Strategies” at the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering included an advanced urban analysis of a selected territory close to the university. The subject of this research is the route between the university campus and the dorm which is utilised by students on a daily basis. The analysis found that the route was mainly used by two categories of pedestrians - students and tourists. Various analysis of light, noise, cognitive challenges as well as pedestrian and traffic flows discovered several problems. Therefore, it was decided to consider alternative route options in order to optimise the pedestrian flows between both population groups.

The analysis of the traffic and pedestrian flows showed that the analysed route is strongly preferred by students in comparison to the projected optimal route. Main reasons for the unpopularity of the optimal route are the unnatural appearance of the route due to surrounding front facades as well as the river Fontanka which creates a psychological obstacle. Moreover, the route is filled with physical obstacles such as parked vehicles, large outdoor trash bins and partial absence of pavement which make the route pedestrian unfriendly. The project suggests to transform the optimal route into a pedestrian-friendly path. In addition, an analysis of the distances between the existing bridges The front facades make the route appear unnatural
of the Fontanka River displays the need of an additional pedestrian bridge connecting both sides of the river.

Thus, the projected optimal route represents the the shortest path between the dorm and the university. The projected bridge also helps to take the pressure off the loaded surrounding bridges. With the separation of the conflicting pedestrian flows, the analysed route becomes more comfortable for tourists and visitors.

As the amount of new construction projects in Yekaterinburg increases, the administration decided to develop the new Novokoltsovsky
district. The new district will possess two main public zones. One of them being a zoo which is planned to be developed until the 300th
anniversary of the city – and the other one being a technology park with a sociocultural focus including aspects of space and astronautics.
SPACE MUSEUM / SPB STUDENT ROUTE / ZELENOGORSK / SMART CITY BALAKLAVA / LOOP PARK / INTRODUCTION
1-1 Section / Diagonal
The project is designed to tackle several challenges. The space museum creates leisure and recreational areas in the farthest district and thereby improves the infrastructure for residents of the new district but also of the whole city. The size of the cultural space is unmet in
Yekaterinburg or the adjacent cities which currently show a lack of leisure and recreational zones. The project aims to create a space for
residents and families that appreciates the whole region.
The modern architectural design connects to the contemporary architecture of the zoo as well as the surrounding business centres and
creates a landmark building in Yekaterinburg.
