Relationship between urbanism and landscaping

Abstract

From the simplest forms of habitation organization to the most complex human settlements, it can be seen how nature was or was not integrated into urban space. A human settlement cannot be reduced to a simple accumulation of construction. The outer space or the space between constructions has specific functions and is governed by specific laws. The importance of this space in the complex structure of human settlements can be highlighted by reviewing the history of urbanism. In this process of evolution of the spatial component, an important role is played by the passageways or the urban transition areas. These areas are those where green spaces and/or landscaped zones are gradually emerging, increasingly performing more and more important functions. Why in this early age of the new millennium landscaping process has become an extremely effective tool of the urban science? Because in the context of accelerated pollution and degradation of the Earth, the urban regeneration is possible by interfering the urban and landscaping means of action, through functional solutions stemming from the real needs of the environment and inhabitants.
