Abstract

Urban settlements dominate both the spatial and settlement structure of our country and the planet as a whole. The population moves to the cities due to the advantages that the city provides in terms of education, work, housing and communal conditions, leisure activities. However, in the modern conditions of the growing information and digital era, there is a significant modification of all the traditional functions of the city. In all types of activities, people increasingly tend to satisfy their needs remotely, which leads to the self-isolation of citizens in urban space, to the increasing spread of a hybrid form of employment and the atomization of society. The anthropocentric paradigm of the urban spaces, in which the living environment combines the best features of urban and rural settlements is put into practice. At the same time, the ongoing processes create prerequisites for deurbanization, relocation of citizens to other settlements. Small towns that are currently experiencing a period of decline and a decrease in population size are getting a chance for renovation.
