Abstract
The article discusses the influence of the topological features of the Neva River’s adjacent territories on the formation of the planning structure of St. Petersburg. The main topological problem of the city, formulated earlier by V.F. Nazarov, and the solution to this problem in the general plans of St. Petersburg – Leningrad are revealed. The urban planning features of the Admiralty side of St. Petersburg and the formation of the island arrows of the largest cities – St. Petersburg, Paris, New York – are revealed. The conclusion is made about the possibility of using the topological method in the design of new and transformation of existing urban complexes and public spaces.
