The global transformations taking place in all key areas of life in the modern world today are forcing a fresh look at many phenomena that are integral components of the global historical process.

The exceptional role of the city in shaping the economic, economic, social, political, and cultural foundations of civilisation makes the problem of studying the patterns of its creation and development one of the priorities in world and Ukrainian historical science.
