EN Integration of planning activities and forms of nature protection plays an important role in mitigating adverse effects of global industrialisation and climate change that are in particular severe in urban areas. Rapid growth of towns often annexes areas of high biodiversity and reclaimed (re-naturalised) residual spaces. For that reason urban greenery requires new forms of protection and new approach of the civic society (from passive to pro-active) that would be more suitable in view of the local conditions and in view of a wider public access to greenery. Proper urban growth design by means of protective planning instruments can underlie a more efficient, pro-active and compliant with the local context preservation of local natural resources. Municipal authorities should use relevant tools of protection of urban greenery that can efficiently underlie its preservation as a link creating the overall structure of a bioregion. An eco-friendly city stands a chance to create urban environment that not only consumes but also effectively protects and recreates its natural resources.
