Prospects of Industry in the City of Dnipr as a Factor of Influence on the Transformation of Its Residential Areas

Statement of the problem. The circumstances of place and time have triggered mechanisms of global, regional and local changes in all components of nature, society, human psychology, and others, the genesis of which lies at the intersection of endogenous, exogenous and anthropogenic factors and processes. Previously emerged concepts of cities based on previous approaches to their city-forming bases have everywhere reached a dead end. The search for methods of exiting it rests on the fact that humanity is faced with previously non-existent transformations in nature, society, human psychophysiology, technology and economics, which lead to the need to transition to a fundamentally new paradigm of the world, which speaks of the fact that that any human actions are only probabilistic in nature and cannot be considered as systems that have a rigid shell of concepts within a given cycle of history. If in the past centuries and millennia evolution was relatively slow and not everything in it was immediately apparent, then in the 21st century the volume of information and the speed of technological development are growing according to the law of geometric progression, not allowing scientists to make any conclusions about their consequences for the planet and humanity in the volumes that are necessary and important. “The knowledge of things should not precede the knowledge of justice”, says an Eastern proverb. No specialist in the world can now answer the question: will humanity survive, having coped with the consequences of its actions, or will it perish. In each area of knowledge, answers are sought according to their own algorithms. Including architecture and urban planning. How long the search will last is an unanswered question. Meanwhile, the intermediate stages of further transformation of cities have been identified as stages associated with the final transition to the sixth technological way of life. Like the entire economy as a whole, it is still anthropocentric and continues to develop the mechanisms of consumer society. Which has already exhausted its possibilities. As a result, the cities are sort of “stuck” between the “wrong future” and the “right future”. What is happening in this context with the industry of the city of Dnepr as one of them is considered in this article. The purpose of the article to reveal the role of the industrial prospects of the city of Dnipro as a factor influencing the transformation of its residential areas.
