The report was mainly consist of material that was obtained during an urban study of real project locations. The urban fabric of Kyiv will be analyzed in terms of three parameters: connectivity, density, and scale. The purpose of this analysis is to investigate how they affect the comfort of the urban environment. The next step in processing the data is to compare the project locations with approved world models and to search for responses to the question "How should it be?"
