The article attempts to discuss the development of the idea of sustainable development in the landscape of cities on selected examples. The reasons for the current state of the townscape are analysed. EU and Polish legal acts in the field of landscape, environment and cultural heritage protection were reviewed. The examples presented in the article show that activities in the field of development and improvement of urban landscape have many aspects, both legal, environmental, social and economic. The current development of cities causes the development and urbanization of already existing green areas and agricultural land. Meanwhile, the spatial policy (in accordance with the idea of sustainable development of the urban landscape) attempts to compensate for the loss of greenery in many cases by afforestation of wasteland and creation of new areas of managed greenery: on revitalised (post-industrial) areas, coastal areas, introduces supplements to street greenery and realisation of new parks and green areas, as well as organising new forms of greenery on former farmland.
