Pre-urbanisation cityscape in the space of a modern city. Comments on research methodology and planning practice on the example of Wrocław
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
The key problem discussed in this paper is the protection of the relic of pre-urbanized cultural landscape in urban areas. The author draws attention to the value of structures and elements of suburban villages in contemporary urban spaces. He argues that the key components of the former layout are neither well-identified nor valued – for this reason their protection is selective and superficial. The author believes that it is necessary to correct both the methodology of historical landscape research and the practice of cultural landscape, in particular the practice of spatial planning protection. The theses are illustrated by examples from the area of Wrocław.
