摘要:The paper is devoted to topical issues of urban planning in relation to megacities. We consider this issue taking into account the limitations of natural, communal, and social resources. The problem is especially acute for the overwhelming majority of the state capitals, as well as cities with historical heritage that are of great interest due to the rapid development of tourism and the high mobility of the population in the world. The authors formalize the problem of determining the optimal ratio of the volume of urban buildings intended for non-residents to the total housing stock. We conduct economic calculations to determine the quantitative indicators that can be used as the basis for administrative measures aimed at limiting the flow of people arriving with the intention of temporarily deploying in megacities.
