Abstract
The work is devoted to the study of the residential urban environment in a separate district of Yekaterinburg. The author explores the existing problems related to the security of the urban environment, analyzes the residential environment and offers methods for solving problems based on the theory of crime prevention through environmental design. The theoretical part of the work is based on the principles of CPTED and defensible space (dividing public and public spaces, access control, surveillance, target hardening) taking into account the Russian conditions (multi-storey buildings, large block sizes). The author examines the problem of urban environment permeability by the example of a neighborhood with unfavorable conditions. The site was found to have unacceptable features—ruined buildings, free access and passage through courtyards, lack of public spaces for meetings of residents, low street lighting, and poor landscaping. Based on the principles of CPTED, a proposal was made for the reconstruction of the neighborhood with typical buildings of the Soviet period.
