The presence of natural elements results of the implementation of various approaches to land management, or simply pragmatic decisions you resources management. The presence of natural elements in the urban landscape allows low stress processes of urbanization and rehabilitation and regeneration and more respect to the environmental balance that contribute to urban sustainability. The open spaces system created by the presence of natural elements allows the existence of ecological corridors for biodiversity conservation, land and building structure and urban green areas organization. What means that to organize urban expansion or requalification is above all to integrate nature and built areas in an entity with own identity, structure and mode of operation.
