Original Abstract

The content of this paper is research on gardening settlements. These are special urban areas that, as recreational spaces for city residents, contribute to the maintenance of their mental and physical condition. At the same time, from the point of view of environmental and ecological urbanism, they are a specific ecosystem of so-called green infrastructure, whose importance is seen, for example, in the prevention of overheating in urban areas in the summer months. At the same time, the economic aspect cannot be overlooked, namely the savings in the city budget for the maintenance of greenery. For the purpose of this research, the gardening settlements in Brno were monitored. The paper deals with the gradual transformation of these settlements into residential space. It analyses the economic factors and looks for parallels in the construction of emergency colonies in the 1920s in Brno. The article draws attention to the disruption of the local ecosystem and its transformation, the disappearance of the recreational zone and the benefits of urban green infrastructure.
