The current questions of prospects of modern cities development are viewed in the light of steady growth of population and urbanization connected with enhancement of cities role in social development. The problem of urban densification and the prospectivity of large cities vertical growth are considered. China practice is analyzed because this state is acknowledged global leader in the matter of high-rise building and its achievements can be useful for the Russian Federation. The article concerns activities of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) researching high-rise building. Modern approaches to highrise buildings typology are examined, their main point is defined as «mini-city in city».

This article discusses the most modern methods of territorial development and construction of town-planning reserves in the structure of a large city. The regulatory requirements for the location of nursery schools in urban conditions are examined. The main types of nursery schools for urban location are presented and analyzed. The regularities depending on the type of nursery schools location and on the method used for urban planning reserve development are revealed. The main distinctive parameters of pre-school facilities structure, depending on the chosen method of territorial development of urban reserve are viewed.

In article the modern aerial photography from unmanned aerial vehicles as one of methods of the analysis of city building and the territory in design and exploration work is considered. A number of advantages of aerial photography before land photographing is allocated. The retrospective analysis of aerial photography, allowing to track its development from amateur to the professional is carried out. Its application in town planning, reconstruction and new construction is defined. Two main types of aerial photography, used in construction planned and, - «perspective» are «allocated».

As a result of commissioning of rainwater treatment installation at the Adler sewage treatment plants in Sochi its signifi cant design disadvantages are revealed. Thin layer tank unit doesn’t meet project requirements. Computer hydrodynamic model of an existing plant is built to obtain the coefficient of volume usage. Also design changes that improve the performance of the installation are proposed and simulated.

In the article the steps required to create a detailed hydraulic model of the water network Tumen with the use of geographic information systems (GIS) «Zulu» are described. The effectiveness of the design scheme for solving a number of applied problems of water utility network optimization, implementation of programs to reduce pressure and planning for a case of emergency are shown. Real-life experience of GIS using for accidents analyze, certification, introduction of the water supply objects single classifier are presented. Perspective ways of information system development are viewed.

The main environmental problems in highway construction that directly or indirectly influence on the environment are viewed. The major impacts on the geological environment are associated with realization of construction works, with use of construction equipment as well as with waste formation in construction organizations activities. Information on technical standards for the environment protection during highway construction is provided.

In this article there is a study of the heat pump for heating the premises of a public building (academic building of Samara State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering). The aim of the work was to determine the parameters of the heat pump and the impact of his work on the microclimate parameters of heated space. As the heat pump was activated split-system, operating in the heating mode; analysis was performed changing the state of the working fluid (Freon-R410A) used in this split-system. The studies revealed that the use of the heat pump (split system, operating in heating mode) allows you to maintain optimum parameters of the indoor environment. With the help of the tests revealed that the use of split-system as a heating system reduces the inertia of the system to ensure the indoor environment. This leads to maintain a comfortable environment for human habitation when the external operating conditions typical of the autumn-spring period, and demonstrates the effectiveness of the use of split systems, the use of which may in residential and public buildings. Furthermore, was prepared a graph of the room temperature before and after the operation of a split system.

In the article the composition, structure and properties of road bitumen asphaltenes component are viewed in detail. The influence of oil nature and processing of its refining on the properties of asphaltenes and road bitumen, their durability in pavements are shown.
