Urbanization in social constructivism mirror

Ravochkin N.

In this paper, the authors consider the phenomenon of urbanization from the standpoint of social constructivism. Taking into account the pragmatic orientations of modern social philosophy, the expediency of understanding urbanized spaces using constructivist methodology is substantiated. The works of classics and modern authors relevant to the problem are analyzed. The possibilities of constructivist methodology in the theoretical and applied aspects of creating cities and multiple concepts that meet the needs of the population in terms of self-realization are demonstrated. The directions of application of constructivist ideas to the initiatives of urban transformations are presented, which makes it possible to overcome the reduced understanding of urbanization. The necessary explanations and clarifications to the considered concepts are given. In conclusion, the authors summarize the results of the study.
