The problem: the disclosure of the laws and features of the development of a large Siberian city will help to understand both its structure and the process of formation of a city-numerous form. The generation of the city involves the natural basis, the population in its pro-strange form, which is expressed in the growth of populated cells of the city. People satisfy the needs for housing, in places of employment, in social services, in a high-quality environment. The historical process of becoming an urban planning form is complex and contradictory. Currently, there is no formula that reveals the dependence of the urban planning form on the totality of development arguments: state policy, the interests of developers, the interests and needs of the population, contradictions that lie in the nature of the city’s investment.

Purpose: to identify the prerequisites for explaining the urban planning form of Irkutsk by natural, historical, economic, socio-cultural and religious factors.

Methods: identification of city-forming factors, historical process of seeds or primary cells of the planning structure, ways to increment this cell tissue along the axes of the planning framework, analysis of the evolution of the street network, forms of planning packaging of different areas of the city with different genetic codes.

Results: the main regularities of origin of a town-planning form of the city of Irkutsk are revealed.
