City Embankments as Unique Buildings and Structures. Modern Principles of Model Formation on the Example of the Coastal Zone of the Yauza River in Moscow

The growth of modern megapolises leads to the degradation of natural resources on their territory, this leads to the destruction of the urban ecology and the deterioration of the citizens' healths. The territories located along the coastlines of various reservoirs located within the city, conceal a huge potential for improving the quality of life of the urban population. In particular, the coastline of the Yauza River, flowing within the city of Moscow, can be not only a carrier of the historical type of urban landscapes but also a great area for recreation and comfort of Muscovites and visitors. Today these territories are used irrationally, the city strengthens the expansion on the coastal zones, and the technogenic influence leads to not only the pollution of the coast but also of the Yauza channel. The main problem raised in this article is the problem of methodological approaches to the development of waterfront development projects.
