| Abstract. | In nowadays «concrete jungle» for a man is very important to have a natural component: a sufficient level of greening the city, its favorable ecological conditions, the connection with nature. However, the rapid rhythm of life, the active construction of new buildings and high-rise buildings can marginalize the nature of residues from the environment, which ultimately leads to a conflict with the city of man. On the one hand, modern landscaping is a system of green spaces of cities and towns, and on the other hand – this is a detailed set of measures on cultivation, the device and the use of green crops. The classic and most common methods of greening the city include planting trees and shrubs, lawns and flower beds, parks and squares. In the last years the exploration of additional methods of greening urban space is actively increasing. Such planting can be divided into several functional and technological groups: vertical gardens, roof gardens, planting of interiors, construction of indoor botanical gardens, the environmental parking, mobile landscaping, temporary installations. Because of its mobility, which is important in the centers of modern cities, and because of the undoubted environmental and economic advantages, additional landscaping is becoming more popular. |
