Abstract

The increasing demand of the population of St. Petersburg for mass sports infrastructure makes the problem of its spatial organisation in the urban structure urgent. The article considers the actual location of sports infrastructure and the formation of its spatial system in Leningrad of the Soviet period. In order to determine the regularities of the development of the spatial system of sports facilities and its implementation, the article presents a historical and evolutionary analysis based on the synthesis of archival and bibliographic data, cartographic documents and territorial planning documents of Leningrad. The study identifies three historical stages of the actual development of the spatial system of mass sports infrastructure and reveals an imbalance in the placement of sports facilities in its inner-city territories in general and stagnation in the development of mass sports facilities.
