The modern metropolis is a complex system specially created for the life, activity and recreation of thousands of people. In order for the city to meet the requirements set for it, architects and designers have foreseen the presence in this artificial environment of a variety of structures and communications that make up a single whole.
Instructions
Step 1
The foundation of any city is buildings. Urban buildings have a wide variety of functions. Most of them are intended for human habitation. In a modern city, multi-storey buildings and low buildings built in past centuries often coexist nearby. Buildings are located in the space of the urban area in a certain order, forming streets, avenues, squares, quarters and entire microdistricts.
Step 2
There are also public buildings in cities. Shops, shopping malls, hotels, various cultural institutions, educational institutions, cafes and restaurants - all these urban infrastructure facilities are designed to perform functions that meet the numerous needs of residents and guests of the city. Some of them are trying to be located in the central part of the settlement, others are brought closer to the places of residence of the population.
Step 3
In many cities, there is a developed industry. As a rule, in modern megacities, industrial enterprises are moved to the outskirts, outside the residential and cultural zone. But in settlements that were created in earlier times, factories and factories often remain in the central part of the city. The production infrastructure is complemented by auxiliary office buildings and other centers of entrepreneurial activity.
Step 4
It is impossible to imagine a modern city without transport. The transport system provides transportation of passengers and goods from anywhere in the settlement. It usually includes ground transportation - buses, trolleybuses, trams, taxis. In large cities, the metro is used to transport passengers. Some of the most important objects of the urban transport system are airports, railway, sea, river and bus stations.
Step 5
Only a developed system of engineering communications can provide a full-fledged life for the townspeople and the functioning of the city economy. It includes power supply and communication lines, sewerage facilities, gas and water supply lines, and other linear facilities. The work of such subsystems is supported by the services of housing and communal services.
Step 6
When designing a city as a system, architects, engineers and designers do not forget that everything here is subordinated to one goal - the convenience of human life. People are the main content of any metropolis. Therefore, a modern city harmoniously combines all objects and infrastructure elements that allow citizens to live in peace, work actively and spend their free time with interest.
