Creation of the built environment and research in this field pose a
particularly difficult challenge nowadays. The pace of social and
technological change does not allow for evolutionary development of
cities and the formation of their land use according to current
conditions. Creating spatial solutions that are unmatched in their
contexts is becoming not only possible, but very probable (see Alexander, 1964).
The development of the built environment involves not only art,
technology, history, economics and law, but also philosophy, culture,
medicine, psychology, sociology and many other spheres in which human
life is manifested. However, only a relatively small number of
disciplines such as spatial planning, urban design, urban planning, etc.
(ignoring at this point the differences in the meaning of the concepts)
in their application layer are meant to create space and bear
responsibility for it. Also society has certain requirements of
practical nature towards them.
This article attempts to outline
the nature of research on space urbanised by people and to determine the
four main fields of research aimed at the problems of man and the built
environment. In the next part, particular attention is paid to issues
related to the impact of the built environment on the life of its
residents in order to highlight the particular role and complexity of
this area of research. This study, acting as a kind of test of the
research, cannot be considered representative. Nevertheless, the
analysis prompts several reflections on the current and future role of
the built environment in the development of our civilisation, as well as
further challenges related to it.
