Landscape Urbanism of Riverside Territories: Humanization Strategy

Abstract:

Present situation with riverside territories planning in many Russian cities, particularly in bigger scale in St. Petersburg and Moscow, might be characterized as quite problematic. Main reason for this situation is related with constantly increasing transport pressure, in fact noticeably reducing pedestrian accessibility because of riverside territories dense occupation by transit roads network. Instead forming ecologically balanced blue-green infrastructure for sustainable development providing, many big cities in Russia are losing riverside areas for population direct contact with the most attractive parts of urban landscape. Contemporary international experience is permanently presenting wide diapason of riverside territories management concepts realization and their humanly orientated strategies of adaptation for population sufficient using. Among the most topical aspects of riverside territories essential transformation such as optimally balanced pedestrian, bicycle and transport infrastructure creation, functions and landscape logical integration, widening of leisure activities infrastructure, water communications development and regeneration of riverside ecosystems could be marked.
