Abstract: Today it is possible to speak about a postmodern sociology. It is based on the number of provisions reflecting the general level of social and humanitarian knowledge as well the provisions formulated on the ground of the theoretical studies analysis on postmodernism performed. In its diverse manifestations the postmodern paradigm essentially turns into an independent cognitive and theoretical-ideological entity that influences mainly the development of the already existing sociological concepts and arises their new models or modalities. The mono-city is the element of the self-organising social being fabric that is the subject of social synergies. The cognitive and heuristic element of joining social, economic and political problems and the prospects for the development of single-tooth cities can be classified as "fractal". The social world consists of many things that are the processes of formation, and in fact are fractals. The degradation of modern Russia in the social, political and economic sense is an indicator of the destruction of single-tooth cities in the conditions of the modern socio-demographic structure within the framework of the postmodern "end of history".

Abstract: This article considers the city as a complex social system, a highly developed urbanized area, a place for the development of the economy, politics and the performance of economic functions. The authors suggest a system of elements that contribute to the sustainable development of the city and which includes monitoring the degree of political and public participation and commitments, governance models and mechanisms, processes and their improvement, policies, plans, strategic programs, governance mechanisms, a maintenance mechanism for the financial independence of cities and institutions. Considering that, the spatial structure of the city occupies a significant place in residential development, a comparative analysis of the state of the construction of cities in Russia and Bulgaria is given. A conclusion was drawn about various approaches to the development of industrial housing construction in Russia and European countries. The experience of Russian factories in the modernization of house building was considered.

Abstract: Based on the difference of urban space development researches and different categorization of space development features, this paper divides the researches into two aspects – mechanism study and model study. Since quantitative analysis has become the main research method nowadays, it is predictable that model research will enjoy more attention in the research of urban space development in China.

Abstract: Assemblage thinking is process-based thinking. Understanding cities from this perspective therefore implies searching for processes that are assembling the city and that keeps it alive. Because of this approach, we don't need to ask: „what the city is“ but either: „how did cities emerge“ or: „how is their existence maintained“ The paper argues that the perspective, from which we see cities, matters, because it either highlights or hides something. We will argue, that the result of an object-based thinking about cities, that stems from modern order of the world, is a very finite and constricted notion of a city, that in effect precludes any alternatives. But by overcoming the obsolete notions of objects, objectivity and subjects by notions of assemblage, perspectivity and chaining, the new world order may eventually emerge and resolve also the mounting enviromental and social problems. We understand city as a specific kind of creature that, through imposition of limits, has helped the human society to differentiate and become global. But now is the time to limit the city, acknowledge planetary boundaries and this way force the global society to develop itself so it can adapt to the challenges of the Anthropocene.

Abstract: Urban structure is constantly changing. Its development was influenced by several important steps in history of any city. Up to interval of time, it is possible to accept the assessment of the pros and cons, but mainly emerging lessons for the future. When studying the map sources, the authors of the article found three main groups. These groups have got common working title barriers of the cities. For the single barriers of the cities were chosen the specific examples of urban structures on which the effects of their influence were demonstrated. On the basis of the influence of the three groups of barriers were defined two basic structures of the cities.

Abstract: We have a general idea about the form of a historical centre and usually we consider it as a clearly defined part of a growing city. Especially in Europe this idea is explicit and authentic. However, there are also world ́s metropolises where urban and architectonic structure is beyond the understanding of European cities. It is essential to talk about the ways of perceiving urban agglomerations.

Abstract: Human is a product of nature, and nature is the basis of human itself survival, human existence and continuation of life depend on the gift from nature supplies: at the same time, nature can only be incorporated into the life of people, to become a real life elements of human. Construction activity is a creative work of human conquest of nature, transform nature, no doubt has obvious utilitarian purposes, but also must be both aesthetic and spiritual temperament. The city landscape system as a function of complex ecological system structure, has been extensive tied with the architectures.
