Abstract
The article summarizes functions of mass sports in the development of a modern megapolis demonstrating that the significance of sports activity extends far beyond the purely health-improving component. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, regulatory documents and practical cases, the author highlights five interrelated and complementary functions of mass sports such as health-improving, integration, educational, spatial and economical. Each of them plays a key role in creating a resilient and balanced urban area. The main idea of the article is how sports initiatives can be integrated into the structure of urban space, becoming elements of the megapolis's architectural and social framework. Such integration promotes equable and balanced development of territories, including peripheral areas, improves the quality of the urban area and accessibility of sports infrastructure.
