Abstract

There are many principles of ecological design and planning of urban landscapes. However, they have
not been systematized, applied and systematically implemented in the practice of urban planning and
development. For this reason, conventional approaches to the planning and design of urban landscapes
can be very much or very little based on the principles of ecological design. As a result, they were
used unsystematically, partially and spontaneously, or they are not applied at all in national practices.
The paper presents a systematic presentation of landscape principles applicable in the design of urban
environments that can contribute to the ecological sustainability of cities. They are categorized and
described, and their selection is based on reference examples and works in the field of landscape
ecology and landscape architecture. The end result of the work is the creation of a "check-list"
applicable to the analysis of landscape architecture projects and the arrangement of urban landscapes
according to the criterion of ecological sustainability.

Keywords
