NATURE INTEGRATION
PUTTING NATURE FIRST
The priority of Astrakhan urban areas, in what
concerns the ecologic component, natural
environment, and ecosystemic services, is to
create α complex and adaptive
green-productive land-use system, allowing
for a permeable transition between natural
component greenfield areas and the built
environment, and allowing for protection
against harsh climatic conditions.
This concept is possible by creating a series of
natural green (and productive belts) around
the city, together with strategic interventions
to increase the green area percentage in
the low-density areas. Implementing this
measure will result in more compact, dense,
and sustainable land use, mitigating the
urban sprawl phenomenon.
Nature-based solutions are proposed to be
integrated within the city fabric and local
value chains system. The key principle is that
these nature-based solutions will be strongly
intertwined within local neighborhood-level
sustainable value chains, urban global-level
sustainable value chains, and equally
important urban-rural sustainable value
chains. In this perspective, value chains must
be seen as mechanisms that aim at an
anthropic-nature symbiosis, creating a
balanced urban system and a balanced
development at the level of the settlement
network. The same logic is applied in a fractal
manner within the system, aiming for a state
of balance between the subcomponents of
the systems (Natural, ecological,
anthropogenic, and socio-economic).
The urban green system has to be also
improved with the help of strategic
intervention creating a complex system of
urban parks and gardens.
GREEN TRANZITION DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES
#
Main priorities
Green productive belt (urban
policy for specialized management
of the unbuilt areas and natural
areas around the urban area)
Main green axis improving and
extending the urban green
infrastructure
Blue green corridors - ecologically
integrated in the city fabric
Natural areas integrated in the city
fabric and protected
Low density areas with potential of
incraesing the green space
percentage vulnerable areas to
harsh climatic conditions
Nature based solution integration
Encouraging ecologic agriculture
production (for ex. permaculture)
Community productive gardens
Green urban regeneration of the
collective housing urban block
area (integrating nature-based
solutions in a circular economy
approach that is community driven)
Water regeneration through nature
-based solution (phytoremediation)
