The autonomy of architecture is presented in the article as an option for a new disclosure of the possibilities of an architectural project, endowing global mega-projects with a unique quality of self-sufficiency, which is especially important in the context of renovation, reconstruction of lost buildings or the need for rapid changes. Analyzing innovative strategies for integrating energy generation, water supply, waste management, and food production systems directly into the architectural structure of the complexes, the article examines in detail the design principles that ensure flexibility, adaptability, and social orientation of autonomous multifunctional complexes. The aim of the work is to substantiate the need to move to a new standard for urban development design, where autonomy is considered not as an additional option, but as a key factor in ensuring sustainable development and improving the quality of life. Examples of architectural solutions are presented that demonstrate the potential of autonomous architecture in creating self-sufficient and environmentally friendly complexes that can reduce the burden on infrastructure and increase the resilience of cities to external influences.

In territorial planning, the choice of industrial territories is crucial for the state. The advantageous location will allow for the creation of labor application points to ensure stable economic growth. Understanding and taking into account the parameters of the formation and further functioning of such territories always require an integrated approach, that is, taking into account both economic and social, spatial and environmental factors. When planning, the accessibility of transport infrastructure, the availability of raw materials, tax incentives and other economic incentives can be key when choosing a particular area for the location of industrial facilities on it. An integrated approach can become especially relevant not only when planning new undeveloped territories, but also when converting existing large production areas.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the process of redesigning industrial buildings in Moscow in the context of urban development of the city. Based on data from the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy (2023), the current state of industrial zones (hereinafter referred to as industrial zones) is being investigated: 25% of the 150 facilities have already been redeveloped, and over 80 enterprises have been moved outside the MKAD since 2010. Successful transformations (ZIL, Hammer and Sickle, Red October) and criteria for choosing new functionality are considered: location, historical value, ecology, transport accessibility. Using cartographic data, promising areas for renovation (AZLK plant, Compressor, Rubber) have been identified and options for their adaptation have been proposed, from creative clusters to residential complexes. The role of redevelopment in the sustainable development of the city, the need to comply with environmental standards and take into account the needs of local communities is emphasized.

This article raises the question of the role of artistic and aesthetic forcing solutions for the reconstruction of commercial enterprises located in the historical center of Rostov-on-Don. The visual component of the anthropogenic environment, especially the urban fabric of the historical center, is one of the most important factors shaping the quality of life in the city. The analysis provided illustrates two different but illustrative situations. The first of which is an intervention in the structure of one building, the second is the reconstruction of a block (insert). As a result of the research, conceptual proposals were formed based on such categories as style, coloristic solution, material, number of floors and based on the analysis.

Establishing relationships between construction and the pristine preservation of the environment, prioritizing what is necessary and sufficient, and balancing requirements and capabilities are a prerequisite for the harmonious development of the planet. But often, high rates of industrialization and local decision-making threaten the stability and harmonious development of the environment. The main problem is the disparity of goals and methods between design specializations. Each employee of a related specialty performs a task in accordance with current regulations, without thinking about the impact of the decision on the future object and its aesthetics. The concept of support and participation meets the requirements of multitasking and encourages an architect to be not only an architect, but also a social worker, engineer, fighter, diplomat, and solve environmental problems. The aim of the authors is to substantiate the need for flexible solutions in engineering and construction design, joint solutions to the problems of creating a favorable environment, and the participation of the architect in all areas of the building's life cycle.

The emergence of the city was associated with the need to organize water use, organize irrigation works, create its facilities, which in turn required the management of the organization of these works and the creation of facilities for the exploitation of water in agriculture. Finding an average balance between demand and availability of resources was a priority, especially for areas experiencing water shortages. Then, the reliability of available resources in conditions of drought or shortage became a key issue in order to cope with climate variability. In parallel, climate change will affect the spatial distribution and timing of water availability. As a result, in the future, water shortage in cities may become a much more serious problem, which may jeopardize the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially "Sustainable Cities and Communities". Historically, since settlements were located some distance from water sources, a variety of sources and technologies for collection, transportation, treatment and waste collection emerged. Population growth and technological developments have led to the emergence of new forms of alternative resources capable of meeting the needs and specific requirements of water-related activities.

Based on statistical data, the article presents a solution to the problem of finding an empirical function that establishes a link between the tourist flow and the proportion of the area of specially protected areas from the total territory of the island. For the analysis, data was collected on 14 islands with a developed tourism industry. Power functions are obtained for two groups of islands with different areas. The obtained dependencies make it possible, at the stage of urban planning analysis of the territory, to determine the permissible value of the tourist flow, which ensures tourist activity based on the principles of sustainable tourism. Using this function, the maximum value of the allowable tourist flow for the island of Socotra has been set, the development of which is focused on the tourism industry.

The article is dedicated to the study of the planning structure features of small towns in the European part of the Arctic. The relevance of the research is due to the strategic importance of the region for Russia and the need for urban environment modernization. The results showed that the town layouts have a certain deviation from the north-south axis, and the towns themselves are characterized by compactness and efficient land use. These features ensure convenient access to social facilities and reduce operational costs, which is especially important in harsh Arctic conditions.

Water saturation of soils in the area of foundations is accompanied by a deterioration in their bearing capacity and is often detected only with the appearance of the first signs of deformation. Effective monitoring of soil conditions helps reduce escalating damage. For this purpose, a variant of dynamic penetration was developed and applied, which made it possible to establish a fivefold reduction in the resistance of soils to indenter penetration in the water-saturated zone in comparison with their natural state. The approach provides rapid mapping of the state of the soil mass in areas of expected soaking, for example, in the area of backfilling of foundations. The results are applicable for monitoring soil soaking in technogenic conditions and are of interest to a wide range of specialists in the field of construction.
