Przestrzeń publiczna w VIII. Dzielnicy Krakowa - aspekty krajobrazowe

Historical squares and adjacent streets, more and more frequently pedestrianised, excellently meet the retail and recreational functions, attracting equally the residents and the tourists. What is important for the quality of life, as much as for the development opportunities, is the presence and quality of green spaces, penetrating and permeating the urban structures as a blood circulation system. The co-existence of two key elements of urban composition: urban interiors and arranged green areas, which should create internally diverse but continuous a system, is presently the main object of study under the Project called "Sustainable Development of Borough VIII in Krakow: Landscape Aspects." This paper presents the assumptions and the implementation of that Project, carried out by the Landscape Architecture Design Section (A-86) of the Landscape Architecture Institute (A-8), Faculty of Architecture of the Kraków University of Technology, by the team supervised by Prof. W. Kosiński.
