Optimization of the environment by means of landscaping is one of the most important scientific, social and economic tasks of today. Historical and contemporary public spaces are currently undergoing rapid change and this raises concerns about negative consequences. The basis for writing the article were the conclusions and main provisions of scientific works of recent years. Attention paid to landscape issues at different urban planning hierarchical levels. The object is determined according to the typology of landscape and recreational objects of T. Panchenko. We present materials to clarify the requirements for the formation of parks and places of temporary recreation in the historical districts of the city in a useful article for research, authors K. Zhikhareva and Professor O. Sleptsov. The purpose of the article. Based on the analysis of landscape and recreational spaces of European cities to formulate the characteristics of temporary recreation areas in the central areas of cities.  New recreational public spaces in the central areas of European cities of Poland, Austria, Latvia and Czech Republic – the result of architectural and landscape competitions. The main characteristics of the architectural and planning organization depend on the compositional features of the historical environment. Article present author's photographs of the exploration of the central zone of Warsaw. Highlighted the main requirements and restrictions from regulatory sources to ensure the physical, bioclimatic, psychological, aesthetic comfort of residents. The main characteristics of the architectural and planning organization depend on the compositional features of the historical environment. Author’s field survey of the central zone of Warsaw determined. Allocate the basic requirements and restrictions from normative sources for maintenance of physical, bioclimatic, psychological, aesthetic comfort of inhabitants. The possibility of creating universal characteristics is considered. The issue that needs to be addressed in the reconstruction of greenery: architectural and landscape assessment to identify the compositional potential of the territory, the main functional areas and species points. For temporary recreation in the central areas of cities, small gardens and squares have the following characteristics: openness, nonlinearity and dispersion.

This article analyzes the main problems of urban public spaces, because today public spaces can determine the future of cities. It is noted that parks are multifunctional public spaces in the urban environment, as they are an important element of the citywide system of landscaping and recreation, perform health, cultural, educational, aesthetic and environmental functions. The article notes that the need for easily accessible and well-maintained urban parks remains, however, the state of parks in many cities of Russia remains unsatisfactory, requiring reconstruction. A brief historical background of the Park of Culture and Rest of the Soviet period in Omsk is expounded, the analysis of the existing territory of the Park is presented. It is revealed that the Park, being the largest public space in Omsk, does not meet the requirements of modern urbanism, although it represents a great potential for designing the space for the purpose of recreation of citizens. Performed functional zoning scheme of the territory of the Park in question, where its division into functional areas destined for active recreational users of the Park is presented, considered the interests of senior citizens, people with limited mobility, etc. Reconstruction of Parks of the Soviet period can provide the city with additional recreational opportunities, as well as increase its tourist attractiveness.

The article discusses the analysis of reconstruction of typical residential houses in the historically formed environment of European countries. Analyzing the zoning plans of European cities, it is possible to identify the main territorial areas, namely: the historic district, adjacent to the historic district and the outskirts of the city. All urban areas are formed from compositional solutions formed from residential and public buildings.The era of industrialization and typification has led to mass construction of model dwellings and these houses are the main building blocks of European cities such as: Czech Republic, Germany former GDR, Poland, Slovakia, Russia. Typical houses had stages in their development, reflecting the age of the time, politics, development of science and technology, and they are the historical environment. Industrial residential houses had stages in their development, each stage made adjustments with each decade improved planning solutions, increased floors, changed frontal and volumetric composition of the building. To date, the operational qualities of typical dwellings have become unusable and the need for reconstruction has come to an end. In order to learn about methods and techniques for improving the quality of reconstruction, the authors made an analysis of European cities: Czech Republic and Germany. The article analyzes reconstructed dwellings, techniques and methods by which the quality of volume-spatial and planning solutions was improved. The main techniques that were used in the reconstruction were identified: floor superstructure, extension of loggias and terraces, balconies; installation of additional volumes between apartment houses, re-planning of entrance group, the device of the elevator; warming of facades; replacement of window and door blocks; use of supergraphics. The article also proves that reconstruction and modernization is the only method by which it is possible to improve the quality of dwellings.

The article examines and summarizes the experience in using the components of the ecological security system in European cities, which ensure the solution of problems concerning sustainable development. The research used the methods of a systematic approach, analysis and synthesis, abstraction, logical generalization. The city's ecological security system is a set of economic methods and legal tools linked by the tasks of protecting the environment and creating comfortable living conditions for the population. Based on considering conditions and factors, the above methods and tools allow making decisions on supporting the ecologically safe development of the city. The experience of sustainably- developed European cities shows that their main ecological priorities at the present stage are the following: developing renewable energy; improving the energy efficiency of buildings and structures, reducing urban motor vehicle traffic in the central part of the city, using bicycles and urban electric transport; forming green spaces in order to strengthen ecosystem resilience and preserve biodiversity; rational handling of industrial and household waste. To achieve these priorities the following methods and tools are used: the development of a circular economy; introduction of resource-saving technologies and environmental innovations; formation of the ecological consciousness of the population; the broad powers of local governments in the environmental sphere, implementation of ecological programs and projects; support for environmental entrepreneurship. It was determined that to use the European experience of the ecological security system in Ukrainian cities, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work in the legal aspect (implementation of legislation and development of regulations, standard acts, provisions) as well as in the organizational and economic aspects (formation of conditions and opportunities for the implementation of decisions made in the environmental sphere). The preposition is made that the introduction of the individual components of the ecological security system used in European sustainably-developed cities should be done in Ukraine gradually, starting with eco-projects, eco-entrepreneurship, eco-cooperation and the formation of eco-spaces. The above components of the ecological security system must be aligned with goals and priorities of the sustainable development of the city in the economic and social aspects, which should be the subject of further research.

The purpose of the article is to systematize the experience of European cities in creating public spaces capable of overcoming social exclusion and ensuring sustainable urban development. The scientific novelty is to substantiate the conceptual approach to the management of the process of creating public spaces in cities in the context of achieving sustainable urban development by overcoming social exclusion. The results of the research show that the creation of public spaces requires attention to the factors influencing the possibilities of overcoming social exclusion (economic, social, institutional). The analysis of the experience of five European cities (Varna, Bulgaria; Viterbo, Italy; Getxo, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; Malmo, Sweden) allowed highlighting the features and current trends in the creation of public space in cities. The main provisions of the approach to the management of public spaces in cities by identifying and systematizing: 1) the functions of public spaces: communication, recreational, political, territorial identification, integrating and aesthetic; 2) features of public spaces: openness and accessibility (convenience and ability to use the space for all regardless of age, race, health, affluence, etc.), safety and comfort (physical and psychological comfort, a sense of security in a comfortable and attractive space to use), interaction (the ability to establish contacts and cooperation in heterogeneous groups of users of the space); 3) forms (transformation of existing built-up areas, development of new territories) and tools (organizational and managerial, technical and technological, financial and economic) for creating public spaces. As a result, the study provided an opportunity to develop a mechanism for creating public spaces in the city. Successful implementation of the experience of European cities in Ukraine requires studying the needs of residents and guests of the city, researching existing analogues, identifying the potential of the city to create a public space of a certain type, taking into account risks, understanding the purpose of public space and determining the reasonable cost of projects.

"This research is about the informal uses of small public spaces in the city: the laneways, residual spaces and connective tissues of neighbourhoods. They are undergoing rapid change and transition. By drawing attention to the unintentional by-products of periods of growth and the residual adaptations of periods of decline, I will identify unique qualities and characteristics of transformation, gentrification and ephemeral cultural practices of city centres and downtown neighbourhoods over the last half century."--Introduction.

The existence of an open space, is truly important to nowadays urban society. Because basically, community of a city has been bounded to open spaces around that city. The need of a thirdplace in a city, now, is way more than just a regular, it became a lifestyle. This thirdplace phenomena give impacts to the usage of outdoor spaces in the city which used to be indoor spaces, now became outdoor ones (public areas). What used to be a mall and a café that are favorites, now turning into outdoor spaces such as parks, streets (pedestrians), public spaces for children, recreation areas, and so on. Jakarta, especially in Palmerah, open spaces are very rarely  found. In the other side, Palmerah used to be known for its batik, but now it’s already all  gone. Batik as the main program that supports this thirdplace is expected to be able to accommodate the work or activities of local residents. Hold on to Ray Oldenburg’s theory about the third place criteria, batik in this design is intended as a medium for local residents to meet, greet, and interact. With this, batik media is able to accommodate the need of a thirdplace itself. However  still, open spaces in this design has the largest percentage as public spaces for local residents to do some activities and interactions. Batik phases are realized in creating existing spaces; starting from seeing, then feeling, and finally doing. Batik produced by locals can be resold and later become their income. Plots of spaces, materials, wall tears, and batik carvings are also highlighted in this building to create characteristic of this Ambatik building. With Ambatik, all ages, all genders, all types of ethnicity, culture, and race, can be united without any difference.AbstrakKeberadaan ruang luar sangatlah penting bagi masyarakat kota saat ini. Pada dasarnya, masyarakat memiliki keterikatan pada ruang-ruang terbuka kota. Sekarang, Kebutuhan tempat ketiga di dalam suatu kota sudah lebih dari sekedar kebutuhan biasa, tetapi sudah menjadi gaya hidup. Fenomena tempat ketiga berdampak pada penggunaan ruang luar yang pada awalnya dari penggunaan ruang dalam, mulai beralih ke ruang luar (ruang publik). Yang semula mall dan kafe menjadi ruang favorit, sekarang beralih ke ruang luar publik seperti taman, jalan (pedestrian), RPTRA, tempat rekreasi dan sebagainya. Di Jakarta, tepatnya di Palmerah, ruang-ruang terbuka bagi warga sekitar sangatlah jarang ditemui. Di satu sisi, Palmerah yang dalam sejarah dikenal oleh batiknya, sekarang sudah menghilang. Ambatik hadir untuk menunjang tempat ketiga di kawasan Palmerah, yang diharapkan mampu mewadahi kegiatan ataupun aktivitas dari warga sekitar, sekaligus menghidupkan kembali identitas batik di Palmerah. Dengan teori Ray Oldenburg mengenai kriteria sebuah tempat ketiga, batik dalam rancangan ini dimaksudkan sebagai media bagi warga sekitar untuk bertemu, bersapa dan berinteraksi. Ruang-ruang terbuka dalam rancangan ini juga berguna sebagai ruang publik bagi warga sekitar untuk beraktivitas, berinteraksi untuk melakukan kegiatan seni dan budaya. Fase-fase batik juga diwujudkan dalam menciptakan ruang-ruang yang ada, mulai dari melihat, kemudian merasakan, dan melakukan. Dengan hadirnya Ambatik, diharap mampu meningkatkan relasi antar warga, pemahaman baru tentang batik, dan kesadaran akan tradisi.

This paper is devoted to the process of shaping of urban pedestrian public spaces in new revitalised urban structures of European cities in the early 21st century upon the example of a new revitalised centre of Bjørvika Barcode in Oslo. New public spaces emerge, creating a new spatial context. The paper also focuses on some aspects of the creation of space, particularly from the perspective of pedestrian users of the ‘ground floor’ of these spaces and the perception thereof connected with – without limitations – composition and aesthetics of architecture, and its relation towards the surrounding area and nature. Creation of urban spaces has a significant effect on the process of shaping of the surrounding synergic architecture and synergic urban pedestrian public spaces, as well as creates a new spatial identity of the place and its architecture.

This innovative book examines the development of modernism in four European cities: London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna. Focusing upon how literary and cultural outsiders represented various spaces in these cities, it draws upon contemporary theories of affect, mood, and literary geography to offer an original account of the geographical emotions of modernism. It considers three broad features of urban modernism: the built environment of the particular cities, such as cafés or transport systems; the cultural institutions of publishing that underpinned the development of modernism in these locations; and the complex perceptions of writers and artists who were outsiders to the four cities. Particular attention is thus given to the transnational qualities of modernism by examining figures whose view of the cities considered is that of migrants, exiles, or strangers. The writers and artists discussed include Mulk Raj Anand, Gwendolyn Bennett, Bryher, Blaise Cendrars, Joseph Conrad, T. S. Eliot, Christopher Isherwood, Hope Mirlees, Noami Mitchison, Jean Rhys, Sam Selon, and Stephen Spender.
