Development Concepts of UrbRur Areas

UrbRur are contact areas of built urban structure and natural environment, which have always represented an interesting topic for theoreticians and experts seeking to design ideal places for living in harmony with nature. The theory of sustainability, which has been particularly present in the professional circles since the 80s of the 20th century, and is one of the paradigms of modern planning, also stresses the importance of the natural environment for improving the overall quality of life of residents. In that sense, UrbRur areas represent potentially ideal place for new forms of housing development. We are witnessing the urban dynamics of the 21st century, the increasing population density in cities as well as pollution of the environment that encourage residents of major cities to move to suburban areas, which represent potential for the creation of an ideal residence in harmony with nature. The effects of changes in space indicate the necessity of strategic thinking on these important areas, their possibilities and capacities, which is for many years carried out through education of architects and urban planners in urban workshop on graduate studies at the Faculty of Architecture of Zagreb University. The aim of this paper is to highlight the potential and necessity of systematic thinking of UrbRur space to set up appropriate concepts for its future development, and to show possible innovative solutions by which the systems interventions are proposed in this sensitive area, in order to create conditions for its sustainable development.
