  • THE ROLE OF NATURE IN PLACEMAKING WITHIN THE LIMITS OF HISTORIC CITIES

    Publication

    - Year 2014

    This paper focuses on the role of nature in placemaking within historic cities. There are two different approaches to placemaking – The first is a more traditional approach, i.e. complete building process which entails significant investments. The second is “Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper” approach proposed by the Project for Public Spaces organization. This article discusses the role, importance and place of nature in both approaches....

  • Stormwater runoff in the urbanized coastal basin of Gdańsk Urbanized basin of Gdańsk

    Publication

    Anthropopressure strongly affects the primal water cycle. Alternation of the natural basins imposes changes of drainage patterns, reduction of bioretention, infiltration and base flow. As a result the overland flow predominates and greater runoff rates flow into storm water collection systems and reservoirs. Moreover changing climatic conditions increase the frequency of rapid extreme weather events. Infrastructures of urban areas...
