Abstract

The work aims to enhance urban planning in post-war Ukrainian cities based on the concepts of “Sustainable Development” and “Smart Growth”. The object of the research is “Places for Physical Activity”, a new type of public open space in Ukrainian cities. Their purpose is to enhance social interaction by providing locations for free physical exercise and organizing entertainment in open green areas of public spaces. This phenomenon is identified as a Smart City Growth factor within the framework of a developing democratic society. Field observations in the city of Kharkiv determined the current state of development of objects; identified deficiencies in their urban planning organization; revealed insufficient scientific recommendations to overcome deficiencies. The objective of this study is to identify the urban planning principles for the formation of objects and the directions for involving digital technologies in this process. A graphic model of Physical Activity Spaces has been created to show the optimal conditions for accommodating the maximum number of visitors, resulting in the intensification of the use of city territories. Measures have been proposed for utilizing digital technologies to gather data on the functioning of objects, with the aim of improving it further. Directions for further research have been identified, which are related to the urban planning organization of the network of Places for Physical Activity. It was emphasized that the practical use of the research results will have a positive impact on urban planning and public space of the city, in accordance with the concept of “Smart Growth”.
