IRRESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF BIG CITIES

Abstracts

EN

The article contains the author’s reflection on the development of large cities from the point of view of the city's sozology. According to the author, their development does not meet the requirements of responsible development. It is done in an irresponsible way, although to a certain extent it has the characteristics of sustainable and durable development. This is because economic and technological reasons are decisive, not ecological, social and the more human ones (good of an individual inhabitant). Numerous examples cited in the article confirm this thesis. It is impossible to avoid, reduce or slow down the progress of urbanization, and in particular the further development of megacities – their extension and populations’ growth. However, one can and must take more care for the well-being of their inhabitants. People who decide about the fate of cities and their residents should have in mind this care.
