Regular Building as an Important Element of the Historical Urban Environment (on the Example of Saint Petersburg)

Saint Petersburg's historic center exemplifies how regular buildings preserve urban cultural identity while maintaining the integrity of historical environments. This study highlights that such structures are crucial for sustaining the perceived image and authenticity of cities, ensuring their sustainability in the face of urbanization. By analyzing international and Russian regulatory documents, researchers demonstrate that regular buildings contribute to the invariability of a city's visual and associative landscape, reinforcing its intangible heritage value. The findings underscore the need for sustainable development approaches that balance conservation with modern urban growth, ensuring the long-term preservation of historically significant urban environments.
