Abstract

The interest grows among architects, experts in territorial planning and urban-planners not only to the concept of cityscape, but also to the most scientific and comprehensive approach that landscape re-searches contain. There is an organic connection of concepts «landscape» introduced of physical geography and «morphotype of built-up area» which is widely used in urban-planning. The landscape approach in urban-planning is not only integration of town-planning objects in a natural landscape and using of its features in urban planning, but it is a creation (designing) of the harmonious and balanced natural and man-made complexes. The process of cityscapes’ transformation occurs constantly: in some places gradually, in others it is prompt, somewhere it is successful, and somewhere it is not so successful. The paper deals with the fundamental directions of transformation of the urbanized areas in the historical centre of Moscow, peripheral residential areas, industrial zones of city that allow to create the stable and aesthetically attractive landscapes. These directions are the basis for a «green» and «smart» city.

Keywords
