Abstract

This article contains very detailed economical-geographical characteristics of each SaintPetersburg sub-region: history development, size, borders, population, density population, housing conditions and existing industries, engineering, and transport framework. In our opinion on how to influence the agglomeration, the formation is to analyze nowadays city problems and try to develop old and new sub-regions by keeping up zoning. The main issue of today’s Saint-Petersburg is a decision to build more high-rise buildings in the new subregions or reconstruct the old parts of the city. Nowadays the General plan of the city 2015-2025 leaves two options possible. Most of the city-planning changes are focusing on the development of an engineering and transport framework of Saint-Petersburg, the improvement of the quality of public spaces and the creation of tourist infrastructure. The main goal of city-planning in Saint-Petersburg is still to maintain the cultural-historical heritage and to manage its development according to the modern challenges.
