The role of green in spatial composition of contemporary urban solutions.
Contemporary dynamic processes of transformation of city form, especially public spaces, contribute to create solutions, which at present belong to future, because of many features: expressive identity, durability and simultaneously functional flexibility. Important component of public spaces is green, which according to principles of sustainable development should be treated in the same way as built environment. According to this assumption there are required various researches concerning every kind of green form in cities, especially analysis of spatial composition of urban complexes. The paper presents contemporary town planning solutions in European cities (mostly public spaces), which are outstanding examples of application of basic green spatial elements in urban composition.
