Principi ekološkog planiranja i projektiranja gradskih krajobraza su mnogobrojni. Ipak, oni nisu sistematizirani i sustavno provođeni u praksi uređenja gradskih krajobraza. Iz tog razloga, konvencionalni pristupi planiranju i oblikovanju gradskih krajobraza mogu biti izrazito mnogo ili vrlo malo oslonjeni na principe ekološkog oblikovanja. Samim time, korišteni su nesistematično, parcijalno i stihijski, ili se uopće ne primjenjuju u domaćim praksama. U radu je predstavljen sistematičan prikaz krajobraznih principa primjenjivih u uređenju urbanih sredina koji mogu pridonijeti ekološkoj održivosti gradova. Oni su kategorizirani i opisani, a njihova je selekcija bazirana na referentnim primjerima i radovima u području krajobrazne ekologije i krajobrazne arhitekture. Krajnji rezultat rada je izrada "check-liste" primjenjive za analizu projekta krajobrazne arhitekture i uređenja gradskih krajobraza prema kriteriju ekološke održivosti. There are many principles of ecological design and planning of urban landscapes. However, they have not been systematized, applied and systematically implemented in the practice of urban planning and development. For this reason, conventional approaches to the planning and design of urban landscapes can be very much or very little based on the principles of ecological design. As a result, they were used unsystematically, partially and spontaneously, or they are not applied at all in national practices. The paper presents a systematic presentation of landscape principles applicable in the design of urban environments that can contribute to the ecological sustainability of cities. They are categorized and described, and their selection is based on reference examples and works in the field of landscape ecology and landscape architecture. The end result of the work is the creation of a "check-list" applicable to the analysis of landscape architecture projects and the arrangement of urban landscapes according to the criterion of ecological sustainability.
