Urbanism and ethnical: relationship parameters in city space

Abstract

We conduct a cultural and philosophical analysis of urbanism in the context of ethical in the city space. We note the relevance of urban theories and the main problems reflected in them. We emphasize the importance and relevance of the axiological aspect in the study of urbanization as an approach that involves a comprehensive study of the most common features and trends of urbanism, the definition of the cultural and spiritual potential of urban development, and forecasting. The reliance on the theory of values made it possible to introduce the term “urban civilization” a specific system that includes modern cities with their own social and economic structures. The functioning of these structures is closely related to human thinking, lifestyle, ethics, culture of the urban environment. “Ethical” is a concept in the most general form reflecting the spiritual and practical side of people's lives, morality, cultural norms-values, feelings and experiences, intellectual understanding of the culture of society, individual and collective worldview positions. We consider the ethical categories of “happiness” and “hate” as the result of human existence in the city space. We reveal the relationship between the “ethical” and cultural potential of the city. We conclude that the urgent tasks of improving cities, which should not only focus on socioeconomic development, but also take into account the ethical component, bring people closer to spiritual values.
