The main aspects of the functional-spatial zoning of Kharkiv in the period of post-industrial transformations are revealed. The main trends of morphological development of the city territory are determined on the basis of the analysis of the existing general plan and the results of the field morphological research. The main directions of post-industrial transformations of functional zones and public spaces of Kharkiv are determined. The tendencies to mosaic and fragmentation of urban space, overlapping functions of the city and transformation of urban spaces in accordance with the principles of the concept of new urbanism and human-centeredness are confirmed.
Manifestations of post-industrial transformations in the urban space of Kharkiv are studied and analyzed in detail.
