Layout and spatial (territorial) organization and placement of a cluster objects becomes a key factor. Use of such approach to the territorial organization of a tourist cluster allows solving problems of the tourist cluster spatial and territorial design, as well as optimizing placement of the cluster enterprises. The most numerous group of city settlements in a pattern are small cities. In turn it is the steady category which is also a necessary element of domestic "city frame". In article the city is considered by authors as object of possible tourist and recreational activities, studying it is performed in the model in which the urban environment appears in the form of the "polarized landscape" diagram by B. B. Rodoman.
