Abstract

Urban redevelopment in the Russian largest cities during last 30 years was driven by universal modernization trends as well as by specific “path‐dependent” changes. This study discusses the role of commercial, and specifically retail trade and services redevelopment as the major indicator of recent redevelopment trends in the periphery of Russian cities under effects of different above mentioned factors. Two most specific inner‐city post‐socialist zones–socialist time industrial and socialist time residential belts were in the focus of the GIS based research. The source of data of a number, type and location of objects of retail and services were а large‐scale field survey conducted in 1994, 1998 and 2016 and the Yellow Pages and Business Navigator reference databases. Using the example of St. Petersburg, it is shown that under the effect of the tertiary sector both of them have changed in a completely different way: turned from monofunctional to polyfunctional urban zones; lost much of their “post‐socialist” specificity and became much closer to other European cities' analogs functionally, still retaining certain morphological peculiarities though; developed different and distinct commercial specialization which did not exist there before and have changed their spatial structures. The research results were used to estimate the relative significance of the major global and “path‐dependent” factors for commercial redevelopment in the studied peripheral zones. La reurbanización de las ciudades más grandes de Rusia durante los últimos 30 años fue impulsada por las tendencias universales de modernización, así como por cambios específicos “dependientes de la trayectoria”. En el presente estudio se examina el papel de la reurbanización comercial, y en concreto la del comercio minorista y de los servicios, como principal indicador de las tendencias recientes de reurbanización en la periferia de las ciudades rusas bajo los efectos de los diferentes factores mencionados. Las dos áreas post‐socialistas más específicas dentro de la ciudad, los cinturones industriales y residenciales de la época socialista, fueron el centro de la investigación mediante el uso de SIG. La fuente de datos de un número, tipo y ubicación de objetos de comercio y servicios fue una gran encuesta de campo a escala real realizada en 1994, 1998 y 2016 y las bases de datos de referencia de las Páginas Amarillas y Business Navigator. Utilizando el ejemplo de San Petersburgo, se demuestra que bajo el efecto del sector terciario ambas han cambiado de forma completamente diferente y pasaron de ser zonas urbanas monofuncionales a polifuncionales. Estas perdieron gran parte de su especificidad “post‐socialista” y se acercaron mucho más a sus ciudades análogas europeas desde el punto de vista funcional, aunque conservando ciertas peculiaridades morfológicas. Además, desarrollaron una especialización comercial distinta y distintiva que no existía antes y han cambiado sus estructuras espaciales. Los resultados de la investigación se utilizaron para estimar la importancia relativa de los principales factores globales “dependientes de la trayectoria” para la reurbanización comercial en las zonas periféricas estudiadas.
