Development of The System of the Green Areas of Krakow from The Nineteenth Century to The Present, In The Context of Model Solutions

The shaping of green areas with varying degrees of arrangement and different forms of use, as well as of their structure in the form of a system within cities, are tasks that are aimed at, among other goals, the protection of the environment and nature, the integration of urban structure and the improvement of the quality of life. In modern cities, which develop in a multi-central manner, it is often impossible to develop model systems of green areas featured in literature, such as the belt, wedge, radiant or ring type. Currently these are most often mixed systems, to which terms like open, irregular and distributed are most often referred to. What is important is the continuous layout of areas of greenery, an appropriate access range and a hierarchical structure of use, ranging from the housing estate parks, that are the closest to our homes, to regional parks.
