comfortable living conditions for the population (State Duma of the Federal Assembly of
the Russian Federation, 2004; Mezhyan, 2021).
The assessment of the comfort and convenience of an urban or rural territory is made
by its residents. Today, most rural residents move from the village to the district, and
then to the city, and this proves that there are more amenities and prospects for life in
the urban district (Bochkarev, 2019; Bespalov and Taran, 2020).
As a result of the increase in the urban population, specialists face an increasing need
for urban development and planning, including the theory and practice of planning urban,
rural, and other settlements, the formation, and development of social, transport,
engineering, and technical infrastructure (Bochkarev, 2019; Danilina et al., 2019).
Under Article 1 of the Urban Planning Code (UPC) of the Russian Federation, urban
development is understood as the development of territories, including cities and other
settlements, carried out in the form of territorial development, urban zoning, territory
planning, architectural and construction design, construction, capital repairs,
reconstruction, demolition of capital construction facilities, operation of buildings and
structures, and complex development of territories and their improvement (State Duma
of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, 2004).
When creating a sustainable urban environment, it is important not just to fill the
territory with the necessary elements of landscaping, but to create a high-quality urban
space equipped with social functions, comfortable to stay in, accessible to all population
groups, and including a natural and recreational environment for residents (Danilina et
al., 2019; Bespalov and Taran, 2020).
The formation of the social sphere in the urban environment has its characteristics,
including the effectiveness and completeness of the implementation of social assistance,
such as the possibility of consolidation of nomenclature units, their cooperation with
other branches of the service sector, good transport accessibility of institutions, but at
the same time, it comes with some problems with the environment and free territories
for the placement of new institutions, etc. (Bochkarev, 2019; Ofitsialnyi sait
administratsii, 2021).
Due to the growth of cities, as well as an increase in the population, the main goal
of the socio-economic development of urban areas is to provide preschool children with
places in PEIs that must meet urban planning-related and environmental requirements.
The design of newly constructed and reconstructed buildings for PEIs is carried out
under the code of rules 252.1325800.2016 "Buildings of preschool educational
organizations (PEO). Design rules". One of the main requirements for the placement of
buildings is the radius of accessibility of services from the place of residence to the
general type of PEO (Ministry of Construction, 2016a).
To date, the current problem of shortage of places in kindergartens, the introduction
of a new regulatory framework and changed standards of education attract changes in
the architecture of kindergartens (Bochkarev, 2019; Rekun, 2019).
