Abstract

The issues of preservation of existing green spaces and other elements of the natural landscape during new construction are considered. The methods of preserving perennial plantations throughout the entire progress of construction are proposed. If it is impossible to save the tree on the construction site, a method of transplanting it to another place is proposed. A tree transplant scheme and a method for calculating its weight for the selection of equipment for digging and transportation have been developed. The methods of solving the problems of preserving the landscape needed by a person, maintaining the stability of the created infrastructure, a comfortable urban environment, as well as studying, analysing and predicting human actions on the natural landscape are proposed. The balance of the city’s territories has been developed, which provides a comfortable ratio of different zones of urban development for a person. When building in cramped conditions, it is proposed to lay out gardens on the roofs of houses, apply vertical greening of facades, and use the “garden city” construction method for large areas of development. The possibility of installing playgrounds and sports grounds in an already existing landscape without completely cutting down trees is described. The positive experience of updating the DSTU Student Park is given. The negative experience of the city of Rostov-on-Don is also given: the breakdown of a new park near the stadium built on the left bank of the Don.
