Abstract: The scientific work is devoted to the development of the concept of the evolution of the urban planning paradigm in the science of the XXI century. It is proved that during the transition from an industrial society to a post-industrial one, from modernism to postmodernism, the paradigm of a functional city for machines was replaced by the paradigm of a mosaic city for people, and the transition from the development of strategies and concepts in urban planning to pragmatic design within the framework of projects and programs was realized. The scale of urban planning tasks is decreasing. The key problems of modern urban scientific thought in the XXI century are identified, among which are: the intellectualization of cities, the creation of a comfortable environment, the provision of affordable and comfortable housing, the identity of cities, «green» urban planning, interaction with the natural and cultural context, the search for alternative urban planning systems, etc. The inertia of the urban planning paradigm is revealed, when the old tools of standardization and typing are used to solve new problems.

Keywords: urban planning paradigm, urban planner’s mission, city model, actual problems of urban planning science.

Pages: 5-11.
