Abstract
Purpose: The paper analyzes two Siberian cities: Omsk and Novokuznetsk in the in the chronological period 1917-2024, based on the criteria for the territory sustainable development combined with the integral typology of B. S. Khorev, the methodology for assessing the quality of the urban environment proposed by the Ministry of Construction.
Methodology: Theoretical aspects of urbanization, comparative, cartographic and temporal analysis, and systematization and structuring methods; the factorial analysis of the development of the cities.
Research findings: Alarming trends in Siberia, such as depopulation, a shortage of qualified personnel, and a deteriorating environmental situation are identified herein. It is found that the most important aspects necessary for comfortable living conditions in the city are not rapidly developed. Preservation of the natural landscape hinders the implementation of projects on the improvement of transport and environmental conditions in accordance with master plans. The most important aspects for creating a comfortable urban environment are safety, comfort and environmental friendliness.
Practical implications: The study of the urbanization process and the analysis f the urban environment in Siberian cities make it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of national projects and identify problematic aspects in the development of settlements. The obtained results can have a significant impact on urban development in Russia.
