Villa architecture after 1914 comprises a diverse and extensive group of buildings. The lack of a system of valuating them leads to their analyses being a time-consuming and complex process. Their justification can refer primarily to architectural and urban planning tendencies, including: the impact on the space of previously built estates, the assessment of the quality of their architecture in the landscape context and the continuity of design traditions, contemporary interventions associated with renovation work. The protection of villas from the interwar period, appears to be particularly important. Their cultural value and the quality of the landscape, that they co-create with their accompanying gardens is highly significant to the identity of the city.

This paper presents the nodal nature of park spaces in New York City in the context of the variant use of forms of traditional and alternative mobility in the city. Using comparative analysis of thematic maps and plans of mass and individual transportation, a review of planning documents and in-situ observations in the city area, it was demonstrated that New York parks have become efficient transportation channels for daily migrations within the dense urban fabric. The phenomenal plasticity of park areas in terms of the formation of and adaptation to new uses and the growing scale of the issue prompt a deeper analysis of the phenomenon.

The article pres ents digital analysis techniques for the cityscape and structure of the city to examine multifaceted impact of tall buildings. Methods presented enable analysing visual impact (VIS), planning of protection for strategic vistas (VPS) and examining of impact on public space (several methods, including Negative-3D). The research was carried out under the 2TaLL Project: Application of 3D Virtual City Models in Urban Analyses of Tall Buildings, implemented in 2013-2016.
