Organizational and Technological Solutions for the Reconstruction of Residential Buildings in the Historical Center of St. Petersburg

The uniqueness of the historical center of St. Petersburg lies in the spatial harmony of the city and its surroundings, where small towns and settlements alternate with undeveloped territories, agricultural and forest lands, as well as the water area. It is this historically formed integrity that has been under UNESCO protection since 1990. In this regard, the preservation of the old residential buildings of St. Petersburg is an important urban planning task of the city. One of the directions in solving this problem in modern conditions, due to the increase in moral and physical deterioration of the outdated housing stock, is its reconstruction. Modern reconstruction of buildings is a labor-intensive and complex segment of construction, as it requires considerable investment, takes quite a long time due to the implementation of a lot of technological operations and the need to coordinate actions with the relevant services. During the reconstruction of buildings, the external walls are usually kept unchanged or strengthened, if necessary, from the inside, without changing the appearance of the building, preserving its historical and cultural value, as well as architectural expressiveness. The paper presents the main stages of reconstruction of residential buildings, which are considered on a concrete example.
