The Main Trends in Landscape Architecture in the Volgograd Region

The purpose of the study is to analyze the trends of landscape architecture in Volgograd. Windpollinated plants predominate in Volgograd’s urban green spaces, but most of them are allergenic, which worsens the quality of life of the population. To solve the problem and improve the health of citizens, the use of insect-pollinated plants and conifers is proposed. The primary trends in the development of park areas continue to focus on themed spaces that incorporate exhibition areas. Examples of these can be observed in both current landscaping and upcoming projects. An important factor in modern society is an accessible environment for various groups of the population. Barrier-free ecotropics and cycling routes are already appearing in park areas for this purpose. In addition, there is currently a strong trend towards the creation of recreation and leisure areas for the population or themed areas with reservoirs, as exemplified by Japanese gardens. The identified trends create trends in the design of qualitatively new green areas in the city of Volgograd, solving both aesthetic and environmental problems.
