Abstract

The article gives the definitions of such concepts as vernacular city, vernacular urbanism and vernacular approach in the study of the origin and development of the historic city. It considers the problems arising in urban settlements as a result of unrestrained spontaneous growth. The impact of uncontrolled multiplication of development of urban peripheries affects the functioning of the whole urban organism. The problems of spontaneous horizontal growth of the city’s territory are considered on the example of Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
