Abstract
The author emphasizes the exceptional significance of interaction between the development and the water areas of the Neva delta to form the general look of St. Petersburg. He also analyzes the gradual development of methods for the reclamation and transformation of coastal areas. It is noted that the sophistication of the existing landscapes was ensured by the creative contribution of outstanding architects, huge amount of construction works and innumerable investments. The enormous popularity of the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island is also explained by the fact that a convenient observation platform was created here, which reveals ideally the merits of the panorama of the “main area of the Neva”. It is stated that, despite the damage suffered by the Neva delta waterway system in the second half of the 19th century, it retains an exceptional value. The circumstances that impede the full use of unique architectural and artistic resources are shown, and examples of solutions are presented that allow improving the contact of citizens and tourists with the historical landscapes of the center.
