Green architecture
In the current panorama, we can find a renewed interest in the theme of landscape and urban greenery. This factor is caused by the growing collective sensitivity for the environment and by the awareness of today’s worrying situation which sees the territory we live in seriously endangered. This is how environmentalist movements and associations for the protection of the environment make their way and demonstrate the need for constantly updated laws on landscape plans.
The urban environment lends itself to welcoming green spaces as active elements with various functions; they fulfill the role of social incubators for sports and leisure activities and improve the environmental and aesthetic conditions of the city. For this reason, today urban greenery has assumed significant importance, changing its function from a mere residual element to a necessary actor for the community.
Some of the functions that urban greenery has are listed below, which contribute to the improvement of the psycho-physical conditions of the individual who lives in the city and lead to the renaturalization of the city environment.
