One of the most topical, yet insufficiently researched complex global problems is the regulation of urban space development, with the purpose of increasing comfort, ecological standards, life safety in constantly growing metropolises. The sustainable development concept for urban space highlights the capacity of the underground space to take on the functions of the most critical underground objects and communications, ensuring the minimization of the logistical, safety and ecological problems, that in case of Odesa can be largely achieved by the construction of an axial (north to south) line of the Odesa subway. The post-war restoration of Odesa will provide the new opportunities for implementation of large infrastructural projects on the base of international partnership, including the construction of the subway.
The goal of the research is the systemic comparative evaluation of the alternative project configurations for the axial Odesa subway line, particularly its southern part.
The modified morphological analysis method was chosen to be the core method for the research, as it is an efficient system methodology tool under conditions of multi-criteria impacts and high uncertainty. The developed system methodology, and the planning decision-making tool set for underground urban development, as well as the experience of using planning methodologies that employ scientific foresight of the future city development, were involved in the construction of the morphological model for the Odesa subway locations.
The constructed morphological model allowed to assess the impact of 10 structural and functional factors, and process over 349 000 configurations of values to obtain the numerical estimates, and compare the alternative locations for the end stations of the Odesa subway. The impact on solving the transport problem, the promotion of the city development, the promotion of the recreational tourism development, the minimization of ecological problems, civil defense of society were considered. This provides the city government, the state authorities, the interested public organizations and investors with an efficient tool to make planning decisions based on systemic positions.
