Abstract

Increasing urbanization leads to the formation of intra-city environment. Some factors of that environment have an adversely affect on humans. The optimization of this harmful environment could be done with the use of natural materials, one of which is a plant. Plants play a significant role in formation of favorable climate, create a single compositional urban space and have positive effect on the psycho-emotional state of the urban dweller.

Keywords: landscape design, intra-city area, plants.
