Abstract
It is necessary to reconsider the role of natural areas and landscape approaches to improve the quality of urban environment for a sustainable development of modern cities. The development of city’s green infrastructure, what is integrated in “landscape urbanism” term, implies the restoration of environment natural components by expansion of urban boundaries or searching for reserved areas of “abandoned” landscape in a city structure [10]. Creating a new development strategy of natural environment territories, in terms of post-industrial reality and progressive urbanization is the part of city's spatial development that must be adapted and supplied carefully. It is necessary to search for new development models of urban space, where the landscape typology and nature features are the means of environment identity [13]. The rapid degradation of natural areas, as a result of “densification” of a city and building development in the largest cities of Russia, primary Moscow, was observed from the beggining of 90-ies of the 20th century. It has led to the disappearance of natural areas, what influenced an environmental stress strengthening in different parts of an urban space, especially in its center, and strong recreational pressure on park areas, that are the most popular within a city. For changing this situation and creating a new scenario for parks development in the center of Moscow, it is necessary to form new urban objects, both in the center and in the middle and peripheral parts of the city. Scenario of sustainable urban development at different urban levels includes innovative ideas for life harmonization, associated with the concept of “living” cities, sustainable urbanization, preservation of historical heritage and new building technologies [5].
Highlights
The symbiosis of landscape and urban planning approaches of city development involves the creation of hybrid spaces based on transformation of existing urban areas of a city [11]
The urban development problem of many European cities' central parts reveals the scarcity of natural areas for recreation
Stable system bonds are reflected in properties of the hybrid model, and according to sustainable landscape urbanism, the model can be developed in time harmoniously only in case of “work” or action of each property
Summary
The symbiosis of landscape and urban planning approaches of city development involves the creation of hybrid spaces based on transformation of existing urban areas of a city [11]. Creating a system of interconnected park areas at the periphery of water bodies in “walking” distance from landscaped residential complexes and office buildings, designed on the principles of “green” architecture, should form ecological stability knots in the new city natural frame Such hybrid spaces with “natural gravity” areas in different parts of a city can be created, by adding green vehicle-to-pedestrian communication areas, squares and embankments, a new landscape-urban system of a city is formed, with improved performance of environmental comfort and environment safety for all residents [6]. Modern examples of such approach are the projects of Madrid Rio in Madrid, Aranzadi Park in Spain, Toronto’s Lower Don Lands in Toronto, Beregovaya Liniya in Belgrade, Tagus Linear Park in Lisbon and many others. They demonstrate the soft integration of new objects in urban city
