Abstract

The article tackles the problems of transformation of modern city space (based on the data acquired as the result of sociological research of "subjective wellbeing" of residents of the megalopolis, Nizhny Novgorod being taken as an example). The supposition is made that authorities and professional town-planners should not ignore opinions and interests of ordinary residents of megalopolises as well as tourists during the planning and design of the urban environment. We can observe some major tendencies in development of large modern cities as a special form of space organization of something/someone. The idea is proved according to which the anthropological vector of the analysis in the research of logic of change of space of the city has to be considered along with the political one. The provision is revealed consistently that the model of city and human development does not suit any existing definition: space for people or people for space. The article shows that examples of development of megalopolises can serve as methodology for the analysis of the ratio "urban" and "corporal".
