The paper discusses transformations observed in urban green spaces in the city of Olsztyn over the last ten years, determined based on the results of a survey and an analysis of the Green Space Management Strategy implemented in Olsztyn. There is a spatially uneven distribution of green areas over the city - the northern part of Olsztyn offers abundant green space, while in the southern part green areas are scarce. Managed urban green space, forests and allotment gardens account for approximately 37% of the total city area. In order to maintain and protect urban green space, zoning plans should cover the entire area of Olsztyn (today they cover around 50% of the city area).
The planning system plays an important role in shaping, protecting and cultivating the green structures and the visual quality of our towns and countryside. Development plans and strategies provide the legal framework within which effective control can be operated and the local communes can set out an achievable long-term vision. Author presents the model system of the landscape studies, as complementary to the obligatory plans and studies on each level of the planning system in Poland: from the regional-down to the local scale of decision making. Paper underlines the need of comprehensive plans as well as detailed master plans of landscape management and discusses their role in the green structure development, especially within the rural areas.
