Parki na terenach poprzemysłowych w miastach europejskich jako odpowiedź na współczesne wyzwania środowiskowe

“…This process produces biocarbon, containing minerals, which fertilizes the soil to the quality of chernozem. Methods of purifying the atmosphere and reducing the effects of climate changes are being tested (Kazak, Hodor and Wilkosz-Mamcarczyk, 2021). This experimental research requires considerable funding, but it seems to be necessary, and architects and landscape architects are also interested in it.…”

“…It concerns both the design of green spaces as networks of public spaces of the city which are considered in academic publications (Zachariasz, 2006;Kochel and Zieliński, 2021), and features review albums devoted to the cityscape (Triquell, 2012;Tate, 2015;Vidiella, 2009). The basis for the discussion was provided by a number of papers on the relationship between contemporary trends in urban development and green space design (Trojanowska, 2020;Kazak, Hodor and Wilkosz-Mamcarczyk, 2021), including the construction of blue-green infrastructure (Januchta-Szostak, 2020;Wagner, Krauze i Zalewski, 2013), and current climate change challenges (Song, Song and Sha, 2020;Battista et al, 2020;Błażejczyk et al, 2014) as well as air pollution (Adamkiewicz et al, 2021). International reports that confirm the timeliness of these threats and provide long-term strategies to mitigate them were also consulted (Extreme, 2018;Global, 2021).…”

The story of the urban renewal of the public park in Rumia is an excellent example of such an approach.…”

The Effectiveness of Master Plans: Case Studies of Biologically Active Areas in Suburban Zones

“…Due to insufficient investments in urban renewal [12,13], urban inhabitants are escaping from the "urban hustle and bustle" to the suburbs and new buildings are being constructed to meet the needs of new residents. This phenomenon can vary in different municipalities depending on rural governance ap proaches [14], however, in most cases urbanization can significantly change the old design pattern of villages and their character [15,16]. Residents formerly from the city adjust villages to their urban standards -closed settlements are created, and the houses of new residents serve only for accommodation purposes [17].…”
