Search for the Synthesis of Urban Space and Forest Areas

Abstract

On the basis of the “canvas” of the spatial structure of urban and rural populated areas one can trace the character of the cultural historical building layering, which in the context of natural base elements, forms a higher or lower aesthetic quality level of the society's living space. This comparison is particularly attributed to the cities of post-socialism countries where due to the impact of the economic and political situation the inner developments of multi-storey apartment building are not dealt with as aesthetically high-quality green recreation areas. The 21st century living space quality requirements make urban planners think intensively about the revitalization of post-war period residential building, which is associated with searching for solutions with regard to visual and functional organisation and arranging of open space. The study focuses on the existing forest areas as well as urban building structure, which is affected by anthropogenic load intensity. Over the last ten-year period there has been a new direction in the tendencies of urban planning which pertains to both - regaining historical building and well thought-out development of green spaces.
