Abstract:

In many cities of both Ukraine and the world, along with the historical center, a "gray zone" was formed from old buildings of different designation – industrial, commercial, housing, sociocultural, etc., which as a result of changing market conditions were unnecessary and have ceased to exist or are not working full power. Such territories are called "brownfields" and "greyfields" in foreign practice of urban development. They cause a number of problems in the functioning of urban spaces associated with negative environmental impact, disturbance of city-building proportions, production of hypertrophied transport streams, provoking social tensions, low economic efficiency, etc. In view of this, there is a need for the further use of brownfields and greyfields in urban economic activity with the revitalization of the surrounding urban space.
