TRANSFORMATION OF URBAN SCIENCE PARADIGMS IN CONTEXTS MODERN GLOBALIZATION

Abstract

The 20th century, which ended, is called the century of urbanization. After numerous discussions and debates, in which almost all leading experts took part related development in the urban environment, there are attempts to understand the directions of modern development of humanity (Dzhadt, 2020). Contradictions and ambiguous processes of urbanization are accompanied by a sharp aggravation various problems in the living conditions of citizens, primarily large agglomerations and megacities. The modern city is not an isolated social phenomenon, but is an important form of society's existence, in a certain sense, a model of this society, which reflects and crystallizes the main trends of its development (Anatoviya,2012). That is why, in this context, the main methodological principle of analyzing the processes of social, economic and cultural reproduction is the principle of considering the city and society as a part and a whole. The multiplicity of globalization is most clearly highlighted in urbanized territories, where megalopolis settlements are rapidly forming and a new philosophy of urban development is emerging and spreading. Such a change in the urban development paradigm is due primarily to the impossibility of the old logic to explain the evolution of urban and general social processes to ensure the harmonious dynamism of life in a more or less qualitative environment (45, 2023). There is a task of creating an image of a harmonious city where innovations of economic development would be combined with socio-cultural, ecological, communication, information and many other components of quality human life.
