Streszczenie

Planty to pierścień zieleni wokół Starego Miasta Krakowa, założony w XIX wieku. Na przestrzeni lat park zmieniał swoją kompozycję, ale niezależnie od przekształceń Planty są jednym z najważniejszych i najcenniejszych terenów zieleni w Krakowie. Ze względu na wyjątkowy charakter zostały one wpisane na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO wraz ze Starym Miastem. Praca ma na celu ukazanie przemian parku w odniesieniu do zmieniających się kanonów piękna na podstawie wybranego fragmentu Plant.
