Abstract

An interesting phenomenon is emerging on the border between Russia and China. Despite the fact that this territory has all the necessary conditions for active development and cooperation, there is an uneven growth and use of its potential. So, the Chinese side demonstrates an active buildout of territories and an increase in the population of the region, at the same time there is some inertia on the Russian one. This research analyzes the current state of the border area and the development of interaction between two countries on the example of Suifenhe and Pogranichny settlements. Suifenhe and Pogranichny were originally formed under the influence of the Chinese Eastern Road construction and the interaction between China and Russia, which significantly influenced the structure of the settlements and their architecture. Thus, the author considers the process of interaction as one of the settlements forming factors, which had (and still has) a significant impact on their structures. In this paper, the author considers populations, industries, transport systems, functions, landscape, fabric and space in different periods of settlements. The objects of a research are the settlements and as a subject this paper considers existing relationships between Suifenhe and Pogranichny and their reflection in structure, space and other aspects. In this work, 3 main methods are used - the analysis of research and practical experience in this area; historical background analysis and the cartographic method, which consists in a comparative analysis of maps of settlements of different stages. In the framework of this article, the hypothesis posed by the author is proved at the level of urban interaction. Also, author identified the main characteristic features, weak points and potential of settlements in various aspects, on the basis of which proposals are made for the further development of the settlements and relations between China and Russia through them.
