Abstract
The paper presents information on the functional and spatial organization of public urban spaces, since the emergence of a square as a spatial unit prior to the domination of era of classicism.
Compositional techniques and solutions applied by architects of the past to solve spatial problems of society, represent a wide range of solutions valuable for modern designers. The relevance of this work in the determination of further development of modern areas.
The purpose of this article is to show interrelations in a society, the form of state government and the spatial composition of public spaces.
Methods of architectural and graphic analysis are used in the analytical part of the study. Layouts of the most iconic areas of historical epochs are also used. These materials are first considered in terms of the functional space and social relationships.
As a result, urban planning features of past epochs are studied. It is shown that the social interactions directly affect the nature of urban squares.
