One of these models is landscape urbanism, which can be understood as a newer way of looking at the city and its infrastructure again, incorporating the relationship between the city and nature, and ecological and landscape principles into its fundamental core. In a theoretical but also a practical sense, it suggests new modalities that are considered to be able to contribute to the current problems of modern cities, especially those related to the ecology of the city. By reviewing the development stages, methodological framework and practical applications, this paper determines the potentials and limitations of the concept of landscape urbanism and suggests modalities of application in the modern city.

The paper presents a chronological overview, problem inquiry and analysis of specific problem categories: professional experience, educational and general professional status of the landscape profession in the given period and positioning of profession within the biotechnical, agricultural and technical professions. It ponders and analyses archival records and other historical archival material about the practice, educational and professional status and incentives for the development of the landscape profession. The results show that the key players in establishing profession of landscape architecture were professionals from natural and biotechnical filed: botanists and agronomists, as well as the first educated garden architects who studied garden architecture abroad. In the given period just garden architecture was developed. It was an integral part of the gardening profession and meant designing and constructing parks and other green areas as well as garden art. Scientifically and educationally, the landscape profession has been developed in the biotechnical field but with the knowledge upgrade of technical profession. At that time it was closely related to the City engineering offices as an integral part of urban design. The greatest contribution for developing of the landscape profession was given by individuals gathered at Horticultural

Examination of a large scale view was made, which is significant for city physiognomy, that in the example of the city of Zagreb implies visual connections of central, lowland part of city and the mountain mass of Medvednica as most visually exposed spatial element. For purpose of determination and evaluation of views, field research and multi-criteria analysis was made. The work involved recognition, mapping, grading and view valorization according to given indicators of visual quality. Total length of 128 km of major pedestrian routes and junction of the City was examined and 241 views were singled out from pedestrian perspective. Research results show that panoramic views, in which Medvednica is fully perceived are mainly related to peripheral parts of city and river corridor, where periurban landscape type is predominant. Periurban landscapes represent 18,7% of recorded views, of which dominate semi-natural, agricultural and periurban mixed type. Periurban landscapes bear a large part of Zagreb's panoramic views of Medvednica as well as a third of the views that are estimated as views with outstanding visual quality.

Opisan je opći stručni i privredni kontekst u kojemu je Društvo djelovalo te ishodišta njegova formiranja i rada. Podaci se temelje na proučavanju povijesne građe s početka 20. stoljeća, u prvom redu službenih spisa, glasila i stručnih časopisa te druge građe koja dokumentira ili opisuje događaje i sudionike u zadanom vremenskom okviru od osnivanja Društva 1932. do 1940. kada mijenja ime i prestaje aktivno djelovati uslijed ratnih zbivanja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su promicatelji hortikulture i vrtne arhitekture bili stručnjaci prirodnih i biotehničkih struka, uglavnom botaničari i agronomi – vrtlari, te vrtni arhitekti školovani u inozemstvu. Glavni promicatelji struke bili su okupljeni u Hortikulturnom društvu u Zagrebu koje je bilo prvo takvo društvo na teritoriju Kraljevine Jugoslavije te na čijim su temeljima nastala društva posvećena razvoju hortikulture u sljedećim razdobljima. Društvo je u svome širokom spektru djelovanja poseban doprinos dalo organizaciji i poboljšanju edukacije te na općem profesionalnom nivou – popularizaciji struke u javnosti, ugrađivanju struke u zakonodavni sistem te razvijanju opće svijesti o hortikulturi i vrtnoj arhitekturi. Poseban doprinos Društvu dali su svojim djelovanjem Vale Vouk, po struci botaničar i najveći zagovornik osnivanja Društva te njegovi prvi predsjednik, zatim Zdravko Arnold, prvi docent hortikulture u tadašnjoj državi, te Ciril Jeglič, jedan od prvih krajobraznih arhitekata koji je djelovao na ovim prostorima.

The city has an extensive network of canalised urban streams, some of which are closed, flowing into the City’s sewage system and into the Sava River. However, some of these open watercourses are not fully utilised due to the inadequate management of blue infrastructure. Climate change adds pressure to conventional approaches, creating an urgent need for flexible solutions. This paper analyses different locations to assess the possibilities for safeguarding, revitalising, and developing blue and green infrastructure. Based on a thorough analysis, the synthesis of previous urban practice examples for the city area, and the research of the experiences and theoretical knowledge on the issue, this paper proposes sustainable solutions for Medveščak and Črnomerec streams in Zagreb, such as water storage and p...

The analysis of the vitality of existing trees was performed using the Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) method on the location of Park in Stari Mikanovci, Croatia. The results of these analyses were used as a basis for the protection and care of existing vegetation, but also their implementation in the design. For this purpose, four different conceptual solutions for the park design were formed. The process of generating different concepts tried to answer the questions: whether the maximum preservation of vegetation elements is a limiting factor in the creative phase of the design process, and whether consistent preservation of vegetation elements will generate similarities of design solutions. Four conceptual solutions were developed by four different authors who were given the same project task: (a) maximum possible preservat...

Predložena tipologija primjerena je za korištenje u okviru prostorno planske dokumentacije koja se odnosi na urbana područja (prvenstveno Generalni urbanistički plan i Urbanistički plan uređenja) te druge stručne i istraživačke studije i projekte koji sagledavaju gradske krajobraze kao jedinstven i povezan kompleks površina. Posebice se smatra prikladnom za potrebe izrade dokumenta Zelene infrastrukture - ZI (eng. green infrastructure - GI) na lokalnoj razini – Studija zelene infrastrukture, Plan zelene infrastrukture. Metodologija rada je uključila pregled, analizu i sistematizaciju do sada korištenih tipologija gradskih krajobraza te strukturiranje kumulativne baze tipova gradskih krajobraza i njihovih definicija. Predložena tipologija bazira se na funkcijama gradskih krajobraza. Dodatno, u radu su dete...

This would enable better connection of the repurposed railway corridor with the surrounding natural and cultural values and better use of the spatial potential, which would create more favorable conditions for the revitalization of the wider rural environment. In order to identify the existing potential of the area, as well as the impact of the proposed intervention on critical areas, a method of multicriteria analysis was used. The result of the analysis was a model of the suitability of the space, i.e., five value categories that make the space more or less suitable for accommodating new pedestrian and bicycle paths. In order to emphasize the importance of individual spatial contents in the modeling process, the method of weighted linear combination w...
