CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF MOSCOW
Abstract
Effective territorial organization of Moscow and the rational use of its territory are impossible without taking into account the natural component of the city as well as the properties and potential of the landscape complexes that integrate all natural features in specific areas. The formation of the ecological framework of the city is particularly important. It should be a single system of interrelated and complementary components that make up a single environmental space: habitat-forming cores (junctions), ecological corridors and elements of environmental infrastructure. Its basis may be consisted of uniform landscape complexes of valley outwash plains and river valleys, their hollowbeam upstreams and drained lows which perform system forming, environmental and transit functions. In the plan river valleys and small erosional forms are as if enclosed in the gullies and constitute single paradynamic systems unified by lateral flows. Therefore not only the edges of river valleys, but also the rear seams of the valley outwash plains should become important natural boundaries, limiting urban development of the territory of Greater Moscow.
