Reorganization of public courtyards by using the principles of greening space

Abstract At present, the issue of the architectural space development from the point of view of ecology and green architecture seems to be relevant. Life in the city involves the active use of public spaces and the closest to man is a yard space. The yard is a space for rest, sports and communication between residents. The sustainable development of such spaces has a favourable impact on the entire city. The analysis of the interaction of green spaces on the urban environment shows the importance of the development of the nature in the city. This problem can be solved by greening yard spaces. The article presents the classification of typologies of yard spaces. The yard in the neighbourhood allows considering urban public space as a platform for favorable impact on the resident. The article also presents universal principles of greening public spaces based on analysis of world experience. The formation of yard spaces with the application of green principles is aimed at the development of a comfortable urban environment. Changing the ecology of the city through reorganization of yard spaces contributes to the development of a socially, environmentally, psychologically healthy person.
