W artykule podjęto próbę przybliżenia zagadnień związanych z kształtowaniem ważnej sfery publicznej miasta Poznania – ulicy Święty Marcin, której przestrzeń jest przejawem wzajemnego oddziaływania potencjałów: historycznego, estetycznego, kulturotwórczego kolejnych pokoleń. To przestrzeń, która jest efektem ciągłego ścierania się „nowego” ze „starym”. Podejmowane zagadnienia przedstawiono w kontekście uwarunkowań artystycznych, funkcjonalnych, przestrzennych i architektonicznych.

The construction of large solar parks requires dedicated landscaping methods. Solar parks — colloquially called photovoltaic farms or solar power plants — require landscape conservation measures to be implemented in the areas adjacent to these projects. This is an extremely important issue for sustainable development and the protection of cultural assets and identities, including the rural landscape. The aim of this work is to present the possibilities of landscape protection using the example of the planned solar park in the municipality of Pobiedziska in the Greater Poland Voivodeship. The studies use case studies, qualitative and quantitative analyses and in situ tests. The studies covered the planned investment area of 160 ha and the adjacent areas. The project proposals for landscape protection applied in this case — ‘green protection walls’ — were presented. The measures presented make it possible to preserve open-air landscapes in agricultural and rural areas from the point of view of sustainable development and the protection of cultural assets, and their formula, adapted to the landscape, can be applied to a large extent and can be dedicated to the local conditions in rural areas.
