Green Design and Sustainable Architecture
The inclusion of greenery in spatial planning has an irreplaceable function. Not only do these areas fulfill an aesthetic function in otherwise monotonous areas of villages and towns, but they also significantly affect the quality of life of local citizens. These are primarily areas that provide a space for people to meet in a pleasant green environment and, thus, an opportunity to relax and recharge their batteries as a result of the positive effect of greenery on the human psyche. At the same time, green areas supplemented by water features provide the necessary shade and a more pleasant climate on hot summer days, when city centers tend to be hot and expose citizens to excessive temperatures and high thermal stress. For this reason, studies on thermal comfort analyses are still being carried out, especially in large cities, to determine the impact of green spaces and accompanying water features on thermal comfort and the health and psyche of residents. In addition to the role of greenery itself on public life in communities and its aesthetic function, blue-green infrastructure has a significant impact on the enrichment of local biodiversity, serving as an interactive element with the surrounding nature and thus providing a refuge for various species, from insects to songbirds and small mammals.
