Features of Urban Revitalization River Territories

The article analyzes the problems of urban development and revitalization of riverside areas. It is proposed to expand the conceptual and terminological base of water legislation with the additional use of concepts from other fields of knowledge: water urbanism; water territories (land of the water fund); hydropower; coastal areas; "contact zone" of riparian coastal water territories; riverside recreation system; riverside tourism system. Complex revitalization of river valleys with a high level of urbanization involves an ecosystem approach, among which modern urban planning solutions of spatial development are leading. This becomes especially relevant against the background of climatic changes, which are gaining catastrophic dynamics in urbanized areas. This problem is highlighted in a number of international documents dedicated to the management of riverine territories and climate change problems: the Stockholm Declaration on the Environment (1972), the World Charter for Nature (1982), the Aalborg Charter "European Cities on the Road to Sustainable Development" (1994), 40th IFLA Congress on "Development of Aquatic and Coastal Ecosystems" in Calgary (2003); the 41st Congress in Taiwan (2004), as well as the "Landscape in a Changing World" program (2010), the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC Paris (2015), "Habitat III Declarations" (2017 ), the sustainable development program "Rhine 2020", the UN Report "On the global development of water resources: Water and climate change" (2020).
