Abstract:
Landscaping is a central concern of the contemporary world, imposing itself as an objective necessity for the coordination of multiple interests that interfere in the same territory and the rational use of resources, as a generating factor of development.
The ecological planning of the territory must ensure the harmonious development of the territory, the rational, balanced distribution of green spaces based on the organic combination of social criteria and those of economic efficiency that allow obtaining solutions necessary to achieve the following objectives:
- reduction of investment expenses for the arrangements and constructions necessary for the development and complex equipping of the territory;
- reducing the movement of goods by bringing the places of production closer to the raw materials or to the places of consumption of the products;
- the functional planning of the territory that allows the superior exploitation of the existing ecological potential;
- the maximum utilization of the territory by creating recreational places;
- maintaining the circuit of all existing or potential elements in the territory;
- the realization of a circulation and transport system for goods and people to ensure fast, short and cheap transport links on non-polluting fuels;
- the discovery of natural wealth and the creation of the conditions for their valorization through the development of green spaces.
In this context, in the present paper, a study was carried out on the development of green spaces by zones, neighborhoods and parks within the municipality of Timișoara, in parallel with the inventory of all existing green areas that will be developed in the near future.
