Abstract

Understanding the many interrelationships between humans and natural environment is increasingly important in light of significant socio-ecological challenges such as large-scale biodiversity loss and global climate change. How people conceptualize, evaluate, and embody human-nature interactions is largely the result of diverse disciplinary, theoretical, sociocultural, and political contexts. Over the past five years, the city of Lviv has become a platform for implementing the modern practices in the field of spatial planning and urban development. The introduction of separate public transport lanes, convenient and inclusive public spaces and comfortable green zones steadily increases the city's ranking position. At the same time, not all districts and neighbourhoods of the city have developed plans and projects that could locally improve the standard of living and comfort of city residents. The article presents the development of the Green Line project for one of the most remote micro-districts in the city of Lviv – Riasne. Taking into account global trends and international practices, it is concluded that green connections, which can connect several important areas within the neighbourhood and provide fast and comfortable routes for pedestrians and cyclists, will be a significant addition to the neighborhood's architectural landscape. The implementation of the Green Line project will help address several issues, including the division of the micro-district into Riasne-1 and Riasne-2, a lack of recreational areas, green public spaces, and underdeveloped pedestrian and bicycle accessibility. An analysis of the historical context, socio-economic development, and current transformations has allowed the development of a project that can be used in the future to create new green areas and connections in this research neighbourhood. An essential aspect of this article is the dissemination of practices for transforming urban spaces and green areas in remote areas and micro-districts of the city, which require fundamental changes in spatial planning and the creation of new spaces for the leisure and recreation of local residents.
