“…The study of the patterns of formation of agglomerations in different regions of the planet is quite significant for modern urban planning, causing considerable interest in the works of a wide range of specialistsfrom town-planners, urbanists, designers of the architectural environment to economic geography specialists, city-regionalists, social behavior specialists, landscape architects, etc. After all, each agglomeration is a completely harmonious combination of different social, environmental and landscape systems [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. And the traditions of the XX -early XXI centuries inextricably link the formation of agglomerations with the ideas of forming environmentally comfortable settlements and territorial landscapes for the human community, for example, "garden-cities", Ecumenopolis (in the works of C. A. Doxiadisand his followers), urban planning regionalism, etc.…”

The relevance of the topic of the article is predetermined by the beginning of the professional development of the project of territorial development of the Saint Petersburg agglomeration for the period up to the 2030s. The article briefly describes the stages of the historical formation of the agglomeration, starting from the 1700s to the beginning of the 20th century, in those centuries when it was still the Russian metropolitan agglomeration. During the research on this topic, an integrated town-planning, territorialfunctional, natural-landscape, socioeconomic analysis was used, which combined the materials of a parallel study of historical cartography and archival materials. The main results were the conclusions that from the early 1700s, on the basis of the rural settlement system that had existed for centuries in these territories, the purposeful crystallization was carried out around Saint Petersburg with its principles of construction as the "ideal" capital city of the grandiose "regular type" urban agglomeration, which included three areas-belts: "external", "middle", and "nearby" (as areas of intensive agglomeration), in total geographically located from Yaroslavl (in the east) to Riga (in the west). By the 1910s, the nearby agglomeration belt (area of intensive agglomeration) united the structures of the encircling (around Saint Petersburg and the largest settlements and complexes), linear (along radial and ring highways) and nodal (around particular large settlements) structure. By this time, the formation of four subagglomerations in the spatial structure of this agglomeration was already underway: Kronstadt, Petergof, Tsarskoye Selo, Sestroretsk. This variant of the territorial formation and the unique structuring of the metropolitan Saint Petersburg agglomeration, with the parallel development of subagglomerations, are nonstandard for the world history of urban planning. The materials of the article can be useful for historians of urban planning, as well as for modern townplanners and urbanists.

The significant put in crisis related to city, coupled to the renewed attention in confront of extra-urban context (inner territories), has rekindled the spotlights on countryside, as to semi-inhabited land, even to re-encode. This research is proposed to foreshadow a possible interpretative key on next future’s inhabit (under specific conditions), in the light of some visible changes which have already flourished in the Now, by using project as checking exercise of theorical research. Verona is scientific test bench, in which dualism city-countryside vanishes to the advancing of the wide and dense definition of «post-urban landscape». A vegetal-built basement, that radiates its tentacles in open/not-bound field, renewed cathedral protectress of life and evolution, structured (with project’s rules) with Super-Cartesian layers giving rise to a Hyper-rational mesh, jeopardized from obsessive and frequent interference. Chameleon monoliths, fixed objects in Continuous Movement as paradoxical reply to mutual adaptation’s dwelling, in which «not the strongest will survive, but the most suitable». This ability to adaptations is the key point on tomorrow’s questions, according to inhabiting as a form of «stamina», without that the rigid streamlining reduced dwelling to legislative and tabular count; but, going back to crucial questions involving, will always involve, the first and the last man. Psychedelic spatiality in which techè, shape and response line up in restless and controversial out-of-scales, as skeletal membranes. Super-Architectures, as total tool for life’s governance, unusual and redundant, last devices that translate culture and society’s knowledge.
