Abstract: The article is devoted to the formation of modern sports facilities of a new type - sports and rehabilitation complexes. The approaches and features of their formation in the urban environment are considered. In modern conditions in Ukraine, the issue of finding new approaches to improving the urban environment, the problem of rational formation of the urban structure and organisation of facilities that can ensure the restoration of citizens' health and improve the state of society as a whole through sports is becoming increasingly relevant. The importance of creating modern sports facilities that can meet the current needs of society is growing, and new promising types are emerging. The development of the latest integrated facilities - sports and rehabilitation complexes - is recognised as one of the most relevant areas. The issues and current trends in the development and methods of their architectural formation are considered and studied. The content of terms and concepts related to the architectural formation of sports and rehabilitation complexes is established, aspects of functional and spatial organisation and specific characteristics are defined. The methods of integrated architectural design of objects of this type in the structure of cities are determined. The existing practice of designing multifunctional centres for sports education, physical and psychological rehabilitation is considered. Starting with the development/adjustment of master plans of settlements, detailed plans of territories, zoning, it is possible to provide promising sites for the location of multifunctional sports facilities. Their multifunctionality - a combination of sports, medical, educational and other areas - will make them a kind of epicentre of settlements. It has been established that the architecture of modern sports and rehabilitation complexes and multifunctional sports centres should integrate contextual approaches and principles of sustainable development, pay considerable attention to ergonomics and the requirements for creating an inclusive environment, and ensure the quality characteristics of the spatial environment. There is a tendency to combine sports functions with health and recreational ones, which affects the complexity of the functional and planning structure of complexes.
