Abstract

In this paper we present the result of assessment of ratio between built-up area and green area of urban landscape of Kazan (Russia) for XVIII-XXI centuries. Research was made by georeferenced 9 old maps and recent satellite imagery and calculated the area of different functional zones. Through the research we have identified that increasing area of green territory is primarily attributable to integrated of large forests into the city territory. Increasing in the number of formal gardens started only at the end of the XX century. Also the development of Kazan infrastructure was unevenly and is attributable to the overall development of the level of production, because .enterprises required more labor supply that had led to the creation new camps for workers. The most parts of the city composed of Built-up areas, which is in general, between 40% and 70% and include territories of industrial enterprises. Roughly equal share of the city's territory borrowed by Green zones and Undeveloped areas.
