One of the important design topics is the formation of the urban environment based on modern comfort requirements, considering the historical content and identifying the special uniqueness of the place. The use of symbolic interpretation of characteristic elements of the environment: such as the earth's surface, various forms of relief, vegetation, water structures and small architectural forms when creating urban open areas allows to create a bright expressive image of public space. The application of this principle contributes to the strengthening of the information content of the historical urban environment and the creation of a special memorability of the transformed space. The use of symbolic compositions in urban space increases the figurative characteristics of the environment, revealing its individuality and consolidating its identity. The methods of transmitting certain information using signs and symbols to create stable visual priorities in the public environment are identified. It is noted that the methods of transformation of public spaces presented in the study provides increasing the figurative characteristics of environments without significant urban planning changes, to reveal its identity and to increase the environmental sustainability of urban space. Examples of the use of symbolic interpretation in the Russian and foreign experience of creating new public urban spaces are given.
