‘New Metropolis’ As a Foundation for Contemporary Russian Urban Culture

KnE Engineering / Facets of Culture in the Age of Social Transition Proceedings of the All-Russian Research Conference / Pages 123–127

Abstract

The article explores and defines the category of ‘new metropolis’. Socio-cultural features of the ‘new metropolis’ are: sustained economic importance of a large-scale production (industry) and its impact on the city’s social and cultural life; self-sufficient city mentality; an attempt to realize in practice the concept of the so-called ‘24-hour city’. The author believes that this form of socio-cultural organization, despite its ‘contiguity’, provides conditions necessary for the city as a successful socio-cultural project.
