About River & Garden
A documentation resource for riverside park planning and public green space management in Poland.
What This Site Covers
riverandgarden.eu focuses on three interconnected subjects: the design and layout of riverside parks, the management of floodplain areas as public green space, and the policy frameworks that shape how municipalities across Poland plan and maintain these environments.
Content is drawn from publicly available sources — national legislation, municipal spatial plans, environmental impact documentation, and established landscape architecture practice in the Central European context.
Scope and Approach
Polish cities have invested significantly in riverside landscapes over the past two decades. Warsaw's Vistula embankments, Kraków's Błonia meadow corridor, and the redeveloped waterfronts in Wrocław and Gdańsk all represent distinct planning approaches to the same challenge: creating accessible public space in ecologically sensitive riverine zones.
This site documents the technical and regulatory dimensions of that process — the spatial standards, vegetation guidelines, flood risk considerations, and community access rules that shape these spaces. It does not represent any municipality, government body, or professional organisation.
