Abstract

Towns are being explored by scientists of various disciplines, as various interests and processes influencing one another intertwine in this live structure. Structure of towns constantly changes, i.e. old urban formations are replaced and supplemented with new ones under favourable economic conditions also all of them may be destroyed physically or by nature cataclysms. Such changes (transformations) change previous structure of towns, cityscape even totally new shape may be assumed. All towns are different and oddly unique as different utopian ideas of philosophers, artists and engineers had great influence on origin and structure of towns. However, not all of us assess this remained immovable heritage, which reflects culture of appropriate civilisations, equally. Ideologies of different stages about urban planning and correspondence of such utopian thoughts in the structure of modern-day old town were analysed in this scientific article. Urban transformations that took place and influence of remained immovable cultural heritage on cityscape were reviewed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sace.10.1.9175

Highlights

  • To present conclusions how remained immovable cultural heritage influence cityscape and what should be improved in anthropogenic planning in order the Old town would be socially enliven

  • Since special plan of Klaipėda Old town’s Immovable cultural heritage protection involves very large territory (Ill. 9 marked with yellow colour), but considering to historical literature, a wish occur to divide the old town of the port into three parts according to stages of its development (Fig. 9)

  • It is necessary to emphasise that in the middle of 17 century lack of land occurred because of increasing number of citizens, the old stream channel of Danė river was filled up, which separated the old town from Friedrich suburb

Summary

Journal of Sustainable Architecture and Civil Engineering

Structure of towns constantly changes, i.e. old urban formations are replaced and supplemented with new ones under favourable economic conditions all of them may be destroyed physically or by nature cataclysms. Such changes (transformations) change previous structure of towns, cityscape even totally new shape may be assumed. Not all of us assess this remained immovable heritage, which reflects culture of appropriate civilisations, . Ideologies of different stages about urban planning and correspondence of such utopian thoughts in the structure of modern-day old town were analysed in this scientific article. Urban transformations that took place and influence of remained immovable cultural heritage on cityscape were reviewed
