“Every large city is born twice: the first time as a pedestrian settlement occupying a fortunate position at the crossroads of water and land routes. The second time - as an industrial and information center of a vast territory. Objectively, the history of any large historical city is the history of its reconstruction, adaptation to changing economic or cultural environment. The history of design shows that the absolute majority of creative tasks are associated with the reconstruction of cities inherited from the past than with the construction of new ones. The theory of urban planning is based on an understanding of the history of the city as a reconstruction that never stops.”
