Keywords:

Green space in an urban environment is one of the needs of a modern city dweller. But it is not easy to find a place for a full-fledged park in the downtown, especially in the middle of historical buildings or in the business center, where land is worth its weight in gold. Miniature green areas, allowing you to take a break from the city noise literally two steps from a busy street, usually occupy an area of no more than an acre - about 4,000 square meters. Despite their modest size, such mini-parks perform many functions: they are suitable for privacy and for business meetings in an informal setting, and often include a children’s playground, art objects and other elements of urban improvement.
