DESCRIPTION:The presentation concerns the landscape of multifamily housing 
 estates designed and built before 1945 as part of the modernist trend in B
 erlin\, Frankfurt am Main\, and Breslau (present-day Wrocław\, Poland). R
 esearch investigates the original land development state\, compares the or
 iginal and contemporary development states\, and identifies historical sol
 utions\, which could be currently perceived as blue-green infrastructures.
  The starting point of the investigation was the observation that the inte
 rwar German housing estates were planned in a functional way\, with the pi
 votal role of greenery and water in shaping urban spaces. Consequently\, t
 his pre-war development approach aligns with current calls for sustainable
  development and the creation of resilient cities. Natural elements were n
 ot only an aesthetic consideration\, but an integral part of the urban fab
 ric. However\, especially in Wrocław\, subsequent post-war transformation
 s led to the degradation of these planned spaces\, highlighting the need f
 or a comprehensive understanding of historical urban planning to inform co
 ntemporary approaches.\nThe pre-war state of development is illegible to a
  large extent and could be reconstructed through archival materials employ
 ing the comparative cartographic analysis method. This type of analysis is
  commonly used in landscape studies to trace landscape changes using mainl
 y cartographic data. The comparison was carried out\, juxtaposing current 
 open spatial data and historical topographic maps\, aerial photos\, topogr
 aphic maps\, and original manually drafted plans and projects. The analysi
 s was carried out in the GIS environment. Field observations of the housin
 g estates under study\, carried out using the method of direct observation
  combined with photographic documentation\, were complementary to the anal
 ysis. The subject of the observation was the land development of the housi
 ng estates\, with particular emphasis on green-blue infrastructures\, such
  as street greenery\, climbing plants on buildings\, retention basins\, an
 d water reservoirs. The effects of the study were mapped and compared quan
 titatively.\nAs part of the study\, comparative research of housing estate
 s from the same period in Wrocław\, Berlin\, and Frankfurt am Main was co
 nducted. The research questions explore whether blue and green infrastruct
 ure solutions are local or exhibit repetitive patterns of land development
 . This comparative approach broadens the scope of the study and enriches t
 he understanding of how these solutions manifested in diverse urban landsc
 apes.\nIn conclusion\, this research contributes to understanding the hist
 orical land development of housing estates. While existing research has fo
 cused primarily on the architectural aspects of these estates\, this study
  complements the literature by offering insights into the broader context 
 of balance between functional planning and the use of greenery and water\,
  and the subsequent landscape transformations these spaces underwent.
