The first part discusses the development of residential environment before the World War II, distinguishing five types of composition of recreational areas. The second part discusses the development of modernism and movements contesting it after World War II, distinguishing additional eight types of composition (six types of modernist composition and two types of composition contesting modernism but remaining in a direct relationship with them). As type 6 are distinguished modernist units formed in the centers of European cities, in the areas destroyed during World War II. These compositions were mostly in counterpoint to the pre-existing compact developments, promoting open recreational areas. A type 7 is social realist composition, which created in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, constituted temporary deviation from modernist ideas, although in subsequent years some of them has been developed in accordance with the modernist schemes. Type 8 are the most numerous and most typical for post-war modernism satellite settlements arisen from the 50s to the 80s of the twentieth century. Type 9 are settlements derived from the concept of linear and structural compositions. Type 10 are the units of late modernism, which frequently in the form of manifests argued for a radical combination of architecture and natural areas. Type 11 is a postmodernist urbanism that had modernism context, but in some schemes also alluded to it. Type 12 is a neomodern urbanism formed at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first century, seeking inspiration in the broadly understood achievements of twentieth-century modernism. In the summary are described the main development trends of the analyzed phenomenon.
