Abstract

The aim of the article is to determine the semantic content and the relationships between concepts “cultural space”, “communication”, and “city”. The methodology of the research is based on general scientific methods as analysis, synthesis, and generalization, backed by special methods, integrated with a number of socio-humanities sciences: sociology, culturology, philosophy, communication studies, etc. Scientific novelty consists in an attempt to determine the relationships between the concepts of “city”, “culture”, “communication”, “cultural environment” to justify the understanding of the modern city as a cultural and communicative space. Conclusions. The city is an environment, the main feature of which is the space characterized by people overall activity at the material, physical and spiritual levels. This activity creates certain phenomena (urban identity, urban lifestyle, urban development, urban fashion, etc.) that exist and are transmitted through cultural symbols and communicative matrices, which, in turn, are designed to meet the needs arising because of interaction and to ensure its effective result.
