Landscape Architecture and green spaces in Russia

Abstract

The article considers the challenges of designing sustainable landscape architectural projects in Russian cities such as high-raised linear parks and green roofs. Sustainable landscape projects create great and green cities where the built and the natural environments are interwoven. Sometimes creating green spaces is considered as a great challenge, particularly in the big and dense cities, where there is pressure for space and green development is very limited. In this case high-raised parks and green roofs could be the only solution.
