Citation
Description Czechoslovak urban and regional planning (URP) started as the scientific discipline as well as the instrument of central economic planning at the end of the 1940s. In the following 20 years were methods, objectives and steps in URP carefully considered and evaluated, but also "impromptu" put into practice (it was the time of many challenges – post-war reconstruction of Czechoslovakia, need for industrial development, permanent shortage of housing, etc.). Rather exceptional and less known are then ecological conceptions of regional planning, theoretical works advocating environmentally friendly attitudes, land cultivation and protection, and urban studies that chose "green" as their main principle. My contribution tries to present an overview of such ecological endeavors and discovers the values and the importance that was ascribed to the natural environment by urbanists and land use planners during the difficult period of the 1950s and the 1960s. The comparison with current (not exclusively "green") approaches allows for the focus on roots of the relationship of URP to the natural environment.
