THE MULTIPLE USE OF THE FIRST AND UNDERGROUND FLOORS OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

Abstract

Modern intensive traffic and pedestrian flows at city roads significantly affects (by noise and air pollution)the residential facilities’ first and second floors. The same applies to the driveways and sidewalks of micro-districts and quarters. All this leads to the decrease of living quality, hence the quality of the residential area’s location on the first and second floors. Therefore, the trend to place public service institutions on the first and second floors of residential buildings is completely justified.
