Interaction of nature and architecture

Abstract

With the emergence of a large number of cities, new environmental problems arise. Such problems include: air pollution, noise pollution, increase in the average temperature of the city, the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide and high electricity use. As a consequence of these factors, the city’s ecosystem may deteriorate and also cause health problems for people. To reduce the negative effect, city authorities are introducing many innovations aimed at cleaning up urban space and reducing the impact on people and the planet. One such way is to preserve the natural ecosystem of cities (such as parks), while also introducing new systems (such as vertical gardens and facades). This work underlines the significance of the positive impact of green spaces on cities and describe some of their types.
