City Destruction by Development

Formulating the Unknown Problem — Analytical, Legal, Practical

Abstract

The definition of the phrase “annihilation of the city by development” is offered for discussion. The measures preventing such annihilation are considered as a “minimal system of development regulation”. Two different approaches to regulation are compared and their consequences for urban environment are presented. The list of legal norms in the Russian legislation which potentially lead to annihilation of the city by development is compiled.
