Abstract

The current stage of development of the urban environment is characterised by an increase in the role of urban public space; activation of network interaction of citizens; strengthening the relationship between physical and digital in the urban environment. The criteria for the evolution of the socio-cultural environment of the city are the ratio of private and public in the urban environment; the ratio of vertical horizontal interaction of citizens, as well as the degree of adaptation of citizens to the technological transformation of the city.
