Abstract

This article focuses on a comparative analysis of four dynamic structural-functional urban models: carcass-fabric, territorial- communicatory, irregularly-zoned, and cellular-fractal. It is demonstrated that these models fit the framework of Gutnov’s general evolutionary urban development theory. It is shown that these models are heuristic in nature.
