The evolution of sociocultural areas in urban habitat is process of forming the territorial systems through making places in the territorial structures. Author made the new concept, which says that there are six steps of forming sociocultural areas. The first of them is the place researching. Due to this process, some explorers discover the land, find the resources and describe their value. The second is the socio-cultural place projecting. According to this process, social groups make territorial public contract. The third is the construction the territorial structures. Through this process, we can see forming the territorial structures as lines and nodes. There are many problems during this process like territorial conflicts, informational wars, economic difficulties. The fourth is the area making. Through this period, social groups find their special common sense, sense of place, traditions, typical cultural actions and reactions, etc. The fifth is the frontier zones making. According to this process, we can find three variants of it -changing (or loss) of the place function, territorial expansion, and territorial conflict. The sixth is the territorial integration (trans-barrierity). There are three variants of it -horizontal integration, hierarchical integration, rebuilding integration. Let us speak about the example of socio-cultural territory – The Lengory-MSU territory. This territory was included to Moscow in 1925-1935 years. Due to this process, there were engineer and geological works like researching for making territorial project. The general plan of Moscow of 1935 year included the project of Lengory’ transformation. Construction the territorial structures was during 1949-1953 (when were built the road network, the Main Building (Glavnoe Zdanie) of MSU). Area making of MSU Territory was the longitude process of forming stable networks, accessibilities, connections. It started after the opening of GZ for students in 1953 and ended in 1980-ies, when the MSU territory became the integral socio-cultural system. Frontier zone making started in 1993. Those days there was a territorial expansion to the New Territories of MSU (active transformation to university needs started in 2003). Integration started in 2005, when the underpass between old and new territories of MSU was built.
