Abstract

Urban green network has significantly changed through history due to ideological, functional and geographical reasons. The present paper brings an example of a Hungarian town, Veszprém, where the determining factors are visible through historical (cadastral, military, topographical) maps, historical photo archives and statistical data. The results are compared with the example of the capital, Budapest and put into a European context. It is obvious that after WWII the development of the urban green network in Veszprém is different from European trends. This development can be categorized into 5 periods: Organic growth, Stagnation, Pathfinding, Selective development, Postmodern. The paper not only draws attention to the importance of the characteristics in urban green network development, but also highlights the problem of growing artificial surfaces and decreasing urban green plots in the urban fabric.
