THE EXPIRIENCE OF RESEACH OF URBAN RESERVES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN AGRICULTURE IN MODERN MEGASITIES

The article is devoted to solving problems associated with the use of town-planning reserves in the largest cities for urban food production technologies. One of the forms of urban reserves is the use of roofi ng resources. In roof construction, modular, quickly erected structures can be used. Such greenhouse energy-effi cient construction projects can be located on the roofs of buildings of various functional purposes - shopping centers, shops, garages and other public and communal facilities. In the structure of the largest city, such greenhouse complexes can be located both in peripheral areas and in the middle zone. In some cases, greenhouse complexes on hydroponics can be elements of more complex cluster formations such as research bio-eco-agro centers, agricultural parks, and other innovative urban complexes. Such objects function not only as agricultural production, but also as integrated scientifi c and experimental, educational, leisure and educational complexes. The article describes in more detail the experience of placing urban farms and greenhouses in the USA, using the examples of the largest megacities. At the same time, such city farms are becoming places of labor for some sections of the townspeople, solving an important social problem. The article raises the problems of the formation of modern innovative agriculture in cities, thanks to which residents of megacities can be employed and constantly provided with fresh food. In the conditions of the modern world, this is becoming more and more relevant, since a healthy lifestyle and nutrition is gaining popularity, including in the southern regions of Northern Kazakhstan, Russia
