Abstract

The perception of the city as a living organism raises the question of its symbiosis with citizens. Like any living organism, the city has its own needs and development goals, which must be consistent with the needs of its inhabitants. Theoretical psychology has formulated a hierarchy of needs. They develop from the simplest, universal for all living things, to the highest existential needs inherent in the most highly developed personalities. Most urban theories consider the city at the level of primary needs no higher than the second stage (the need for security). At present, attempts are being made to build a theory of the symbiosis of the city and citizens at the highest levels of existential needs.
