== Landscape and Urban Context of the Case Study ==
*'''''Biogeography and Overall Character'''
The geographical location and high quality arable land have predestined agriculture to become the main land use of the municipal territory of Tvrdošovce (Tardoskedd) since centuries. The soil fertility has an organic origin based on specific natural and water conditions formed by wetlands and marshlands, small watercourses and bodies of water within and around the rural settlement. The small intra-urban lakes stand for an ecological peculiarity and natural value of the site and they have become an integral component of the intra-urban area due to urban development. The small rural town is spatially and functionally linked with the surrounding agricultural landscape. The high soil fertility is one of the major potentials of the municipality and its future quality is determined by a sustainable water management in the landscape. The municipality of Tvrdošovce is located in the Danube Lowland, at an altitude of 112 to 125 metres above mean sea level. It lies on the main state road I/75. The total cadastral territory is 55.56 km2. Tvrdošovce borders on 6 municipalities - Vlčany, Selice, Jatov, Rastislavice, Šurany and Palárikovo.

*'''''Potential Natural Vegetation'''
The potential natural vegetation of the site is represented by ''Ash-Elm-Oak Forests in Catchment Areas of Major Rivers'' ("hard" floodplain forests) with the representation of following species: ''Ulmenion (Ulmus minor, Ulmus laevis, Quercus robur, Sambucus nigra, Allium ursinum, Anemone ranunculoides)''. The potential natural vegetation in the surrounding areas is represented by ''Willow-Poplar Forests in Floodplains of Large Rivers'' ("soft" floodplain forests) (Southwest) and ''Hygrophilous Lowland Peri-Pannonian Oak-Hornbeam Forests'' (Northeast).

''(AT 2012; Landscape Atlas of the Slovak Republic, 2002)''
*'''''Geology, Soil & Water'''
The geological bedrock consists of Neogene sedimentary basins comprised of gray and multicoloured clays, dust, sand, gravel, lignite layers, freshwater limestones and tuffs. The main geochemical rock types are sandstones and clay stones. The site belongs to the sub-region of fluvial deposits and aeolian sands on fluvial deposits. The whole area is located in the region of tectonic depressions. The Quaternary cover is predominantly alluvial humic loam or loamy-sandy to gravelly-sandy loam of floodplains. The basic relief type is represented by plains or softly undulating plains. The relief shape is characterized by loess plateaus. The area lies on the interface between two geomorphologic units - flatlands of the Danube River and hilly areas of the Nitra Region.

Nearly the entire municipal territory of Tvrdošovce is covered by the most fertile soil types of Slovakia - Mollic Fluvisols and Chernozems. The agricultural land has high humus content (2.3 %). There are also local Salt Marshes and Solonetzes of carbonate-fluvial and loess sediments. In terms moisture regime, the soils range from moderately dry to moderately moist with a neutral to slightly alkaline soil-reaction. In terms of granularity, there are non-skeletal loamy-sandy, sandy-loamy and loamy soils.

The most important hydro-geological collectors are clays, gravels and sands. The whole area belongs to the Váh River Basin. There are small watercourses (streams), mainly with a soil ameliorating (land draining) function, relatively low flow rates and an unsatisfactory quality of water. These anthropogenic micro-river-basins underwent vast water management adjustments. Only some small streams have an unadjusted bed. Most of the watercourses have a strong oxygen deficiency and a high level of eutrophication. North of the urban area, there is an irrigation water reservoir with an area of 1 ha used as a pond. The groundwater is stabilized at a depth of 2.9 to 3.5 m below the surface. There is a geothermal well at the south-eastern border of the urban area reaching a depth of 2,406 m and a temperature of 68 ° C to 71 ° C.

*'''''Climate, Temperature, Precipitation & Wind'''
The site is located in the hottest areas of Slovakia - the Danube Lowland. It belongs to the warm climate zone (warm and dry district with mild winter) and the lowland sub-zone of Slovak climate with prevailing oceanic influence.

The average annual air temperature ranges between 9 and 10 ° C. The average annual temperature of the active soil surface is higher than 12 ° C. The warmest month is July with an average air temperature of 19.7 ° C. The coldest month is January with an average air temperature of -2.1 ° C. There are on average 15 tropical days a year (days with a temperature above 30 ° C), 66 summer days (days with the highest air temperature ≥ 25 ° C) and 22 ice days (days with an air temperature of 0 ° C).

The mean annual rainfall is 541 mm - the highest rainfall is in June and July (58 mm). The maximum annual rainfall is 834 mm; the minimum annual rainfall is 308 mm. Snow cover lasts on average 37 days a year, the average maximum snow cover is 20 cm. Duration of the sunshine is approximately 2,200 hours per year. The average snow cover ranges between 6.2 and 16.8 cm. The average number of days with snow is 36, the maximum number of days with snow is 87 and the lowest number of days with snow is 3.

There is a prevailing north-westerly windflow, the overall wind conditions are mild, the average wind speed ranges from 2.6 to 4.6 metres per second.

*'''''Current Land Use Structure'''
Arable land (43.92 km2 / 79 %); Built-up area (3.44 km2 / 6 %); Permanent grasslands (2.84 km2 / 5 %); Bodies of water (1.67 km2 / 3 %); Gardens (1.26 km2 / 2 %); Orchards (0.83 km2 / 2 %); Vineyards (0.62 km2 / 1 %); Forests and Woods (0.41 km2 / 1 %); Other areas (0.58 km2 / 1 %)

''(Master Plan of Tvrdošovce Municipality 2006)''
*'''''Cultural Features, Local Identity, Architectural & Spatial Landmarks'''
The image of rural settlements and landscapes in the Danube Lowland is significantly formed by extensive agriculture with small forests and non-forest woody vegetation such as accompanying vegetation of field roads, railways, watercourses or other linear and areal elements of the landscape. Tvrdošovce can be understood in this context as a representative case study of large rural settlements in agricultural lowlands of south-western Slovakia. The perceived landscape is a far-reaching flatland that one may call "horizon landscape". The perceived landscape image is usually framed in by non-forest woody vegetation formations as only one smaller mountain range is visible in the distance (ranging from 142 to 829 MASL).

The main architectural landmark of Tvrdošovce as well as of other rural settlements in this region is the baroque church with a distinctive tower visible from far when approaching the small town. This architectural landmark is culturally bound to the perception of the site and therefore significantly forms the local identity through its cultural and historical legacy. Very specific landscape features are also other sacral elements in the form of small architecture, such as small sacral monuments, roadside crosses or other sacred sculptures usually accompanied by old deciduous trees such as Aesculus hippocastanum (in this region) and other trees such as Tilia sp., Quercus sp. and other species.

The most distinctive spatial feature of the town is the historic centre with a wide linear open space framed in on both sides by low architectural volumes (1-2 storey-buildings, mostly housing with front gardens). The public part of the open space consists of a central green space which is framed in by a road with pathway. The uniqueness of this streetscape is underlined by the central green space and the historical legacy of the oldest part of the urban area. The site is dominated by the main architectural landmark - the church located in the geographical centre of the historical town centre. This distinctive spatial arrangement of rural settlements is referred to as Anger or Angerdorf (in German literature), Náves (in Slovak and Czech literature) or Orsós Falu (in Hungarian literature). As the Anglo-Saxon urban development is different from the one in Central Europe, it is hard to define a relevant English equivalent to these terms, but a similar urban structure is referred to as The Common or Village with a Common or Green Village in English literature.

*'''''History & Dynamics from the Early Bronze Age till the 1950s'''
The first signs of settlement date back to the Early Bronze Age and later to the Early and Late Roman Period. The famous ''Limes Romanus'' stretched about 2-3 km south of the settlement. After approximately 2 centuries of Slavonic settlement, the first Hungarian settlement is dated back to 970-1020, approximately a century after the arrival of Hungarian settlers to the ''Danube Lowland'', due to the '''marshy character of the landscape'''. This swampy land was a kind of protective space for the inhabitants throughout the centuries till the Middle Ages.

The first written report dates back to 1221. The settlement laid on an important medieval road from Budapest to Bohemia and Poland. The Tatars bypassed the village in 1241 because of the swampy ground.

In 1332 King ''Károly I.'' mentions the settlement under the name ''Turdesqed''. In the 14th century the original church was built as a Romanesque chapel, later rebuilt with some elements of the Early Gothic. The settlement was intensively developing in the 13th and 14th century and is mentioned as ''Tardoskedde'', ''Turdaskeddi'', ''Turdesqued'', ''Tardos Kegy'' and other variations (stabilized in the late 19th century to ''Tardoskedd'').

In the 16th century, the settlement is already mentioned as a '''developed central village'''. It is mentioned among the richest villages of the region. During the Turkish incursions, the inhabitants fled to the marshland called ''Faluhely'' in the surrounding landscape for almost 100 years.

Emperor ''Ferdinánd III.'' confers the right of '''small town''' "Mezőváros" (Lat. '''Oppidum''', Eng. '''Market Town''' - ruled by a squire; which had the right to organize markets, but did not have the right to build a fortification or town wall, only paling was allowed - Author´s Note). In the second half of the 17th century, Turkish troops plundered the settlement. The inhabitants hid again in the '''marshlands which surrounded the town'''. In the tax register from 1664, the town is referred to as personal property of a Turkish Pasha. The ''Nové Zámky Fortress'' (near Tardoskedd) was conquered (reclaimed) in 1685 by the imperial chieftain ''Charles of Lorraine''.

In the 18th century, the development of the settlement was marked by the Rákóczi Uprising (Rákóczi conquered the Nové Zámky Fortress in 1704). After this, the settlement becomes a big military camp with a military postal system. Based on a local legend/tradition, there was a battle between the Kuruc army (rebels against the Habsburgs - Author´s note) and the imperial army at the so called ''Rákóczi Hill'' (located in the present cemetery and marked with a historic monument - Author´s note), where hundreds of imperial (Habsburg) soldiers were conquered. In memory of winning the battle, a monument was built on the mentioned hill.

The church was vastly rebuilt in the period between 1707 and 1725 (into the present Baroque style - Author´s note); in 1753 a Calvary was built at the church. Under the reign of Maria Theresia (1740-1780), Tardoskedd became an important '''town''' on the royal road from Vienna to Buda '''with the right to organize markets'''. There were famous regional cattle fairs, possibility of horse re-harness and a large royal hotel near the town, in Csike, where even Maria Theresa stayed overnight several times. According to the census from 1779, the town had 2288 inhabitants.

After the revolution (1848-1849) the building of the '''railway from Budapest to Vienna''' through Marchegg was finished and opened in 1850. The first permanent post office was established in 1868.

After World War II., many '''privately owned properties were confiscated in 1948/1949''' - all shops and inns were expropriated and managed by Jednota (consumer cooperative "Unity" - Author´s Note). In February 1950, the Unified Cooperative Farm was established, in order to manage the collectivisation of agriculture in the town. Besides expropriation of privately owned establishments and collectivisation of agricultural land, the town was markedly influenced by eviction and deportation of inhabitants. In 1948-1954, a sports complex was established in the garden of the wealthy Juhász Family Farmyard. Next to the stadium a swimming pool was built in 1955-1957.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

Nigeria is officially The Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a federal constitutional republic comprising 36 states and its Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The country is located in West Africa. Lagos, currently the fifth largest city in the world, is the foremost manufacturing and port city in West Africa, and the hub of business and economic development in Nigeria. Lagos grew from 300,000 in 1950 to 10.5 million people in 2010. The growth of Lagos is primarily the result of its location on the west coast of Africa which has fostered the development of trade within its hinterland as well as with the neighbouring states. Atunrase Estate is located in Gbagada area of Lagos Mainland local government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The estate comprises of 200 plots of land with an estimated 7,000 population. The estate has a potential for green infrastructure because it is compact, it abuts against the line of a drainage canal which has room for urban forestry, and the existing ;landscape setting can accommodate some significant green infrastructure input that will improve the outlook of the Estate.

Fadera Williams is a Landscape Architect who Graduated from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. I happen to live about 20 minutes from my chosen area( Atunrase Estate and it's location and compactness has always drawn my attention to it. I believe if the Green Infrastructure principles are applied to this Estate it will increase the quality of Life of the residents in the area and also its environmental sustainability.

Lagos is the biggest and most important city in the Federation of Nigeria. The country, which is located in the coast of West Africa, consists of 30 states. Nigeria shares borders with Benin, Cameroon and Niger. Lagos is the main city of Lagos State, which is situated in the southwestern coast of Nigeria. The Metropolitan area of Lagos takes up to 37 per cent of the land area of Lagos State and houses about 90 per cents of its population (Unicef 1995, Aina 1990a).

The area of Lagos constitutes of two major regions: the Island, which is the original city and the Mainland, which is made up by rapidly growing settlements. The climate in Lagos is tropical, hot and wet. The environment is characteristic as coastal with wetlands, sandy barrier islands, beaches, low-lying tidal flats and estuaries. The average temperature in Lagos is 27 °C and the annual average rainfall 1532 mm (Aina 1994, Peil 1991).

Gbagada has always been a location of choice on the mainland, situated in Lagos Mainland local government. The area is mainly a residential neighbourhood but there is also a flourishing commercial/industrial part to it. Gbagada lies on both sides of the Oworonshoki –Oshodi expressway and comprises several sub-locations. Perhaps the main attraction here is the vantage location which it enjoys. Gbagada has quick accessibility to Lagos Island via the third mainland bridge and the Mainland through Oworonshoki-Oshodi expressway that links Ikorodu road and Agege motor road.
Atunrase Estate is located in Gbagada area of Lagos Mainland local government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The history of Atunrase Estate dates back to October 1st 1981, which was the date of the first road construction in that estate. It was a property which originally belonged to the Oloto Family of Oto, in Lagos State until it was purchased by Mr Sam Bola Atunrase. The estate comprises of 200 plots of land with an estimated 7,000 population. There is a drainage canal which was constructed by the Lagos State Government which is the boundary of the Estate.

== Green Infrastructure benefits for this site ==

Green Infrastructure development for a residential estate can offer a lot of benefits to the residents. This would encourage pedestrianization, reduce the dependence on vehicular transportation since the whole estate can be navigated in just about 35 minutes on foot but most people depend on their cars or the public motorbikes popularly known as ‘okada’ . used in the estate. There is another estate which can be accessed through the canal area so canalscaping will increase the usage of the canal area to connect within the estate. Introduction of a neighbourhood park will afford opportunities for social circulation and recreational facilities for the children who live in this estate. The most relevant of this is the potential for pedestrianisation. Introduction of GI will increase the use of the roads by pedestrians and for a small estate as this one , it will go a long way in boosting the economy of the estate. If this GI principles are replicated across the residential estates or districts in Lagos State, it will create a Green Infrastructure system that will help the state as a whole.

== Potential for multifunctionality ==
Green infrastructure has the potential for multi-functionality and in the case of the Atunrase Estate, it is an already existing area and the introduction of Green Infrastructure will enhance the social life of residents, increase the economy of the estate as well as give the estate an aesthetic appeal that is image-able and identifiable. Streetscaping will also enhance the carbon sequestration potential of the estate while reducing the urban heat island effect.

The estate comprises of 200 plots of land with an estimated 7,000 population. There is a drainage canal which was constructed by the Lagos State Government which is the boundary of the Estate.

== Green Infrastructure benefits for this site ==

Green Infrastructure development for a residential estate can offer a lot of benefits to the residents. This would encourage pedestrianization, reduce the dependence on vehicular transportation since the whole estate can be navigated in just about 35 minutes on foot but most people depend on their cars or the public motorbikes popularly known as ‘okada’ . used in the estate. There is another estate which can be accessed through the canal area so canalscaping will increase the usage of the canal area to connect within the estate. Introduction of a neighbourhood park will afford opportunities for social circulation and recreational facilities for the children who live in this estate. The most relevant of this is the potential for pedestrianisation. Introduction of GI will increase the use of the roads by pedestrians and for a small estate as this one , it will go a long way in boosting the economy of the estate. If this GI principles are replicated across the residential estates or districts in Lagos State, it will create a Green Infrastructure system that will help the state as a whole.

== Potential for multifunctionality ==
Green infrastructure has the potential for multi-functionality and in the case of the Atunrase Estate, it is an already existing area and the introduction of Green Infrastructure will enhance the social life of residents, increase the economy of the estate as well as give the estate an aesthetic appeal that is image-able and identifiable. Streetscaping will also enhance the carbon sequestration potential of the estate while reducing the urban heat island effect.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

Nigeria is officially The Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a federal constitutional republic comprising 36 states and its Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The country is located in West Africa. Lagos, currently the fifth largest city in the world, is the foremost manufacturing and port city in West Africa, and the hub of business and economic development in Nigeria. Lagos grew from 300,000 in 1950 to 10.5 million people in 2010. The growth of Lagos is primarily the result of its location on the west coast of Africa which has fostered the development of trade within its hinterland as well as with the neighbouring states. Atunrase Estate is located in Gbagada area of Lagos Mainland local government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The estate comprises of 200 plots of land with an estimated 7,000 population. The estate has a potential for green infrastructure because it is compact, it abuts against the line of a drainage canal which has room for urban forestry, and the existing ;landscape setting can accommodate some significant green infrastructure input that will improve the outlook of the Estate.

Fadera Williams is a Landscape Architect who Graduated from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. I happen to live about 20 minutes from my chosen area( Atunrase Estate and it's location and compactness has always drawn my attention to it. I believe if the Green Infrastructure principles are applied to this Estate it will increase the quality of Life of the residents in the area and also its environmental sustainability.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
*''Illustrations: maps; sketches; short descriptive analyses''

Lagos is the biggest and most important city in the Federation of Nigeria. The country, which is located in the coast of West Africa, consists of 30 states. Nigeria shares borders with Benin, Cameroon and Niger. Lagos is the main city of Lagos State, which is situated in the southwestern coast of Nigeria. The Metropolitan area of Lagos takes up to 37 per cent of the land area of Lagos State and houses about 90 per cents of its population (Unicef 1995, Aina 1990a).

The area of Lagos constitutes of two major regions: the Island, which is the original city and the Mainland, which is made up by rapidly growing settlements. The climate in Lagos is tropical, hot and wet. The environment is characteristic as coastal with wetlands, sandy barrier islands, beaches, low-lying tidal flats and estuaries. The average temperature in Lagos is 27 °C and the annual average rainfall 1532 mm (Aina 1994, Peil 1991).

Gbagada has always been a location of choice on the mainland, situated in Lagos Mainland local government. The area is mainly a residential neighbourhood but there is also a flourishing commercial/industrial part to it. Gbagada lies on both sides of the Oworonshoki –Oshodi expressway and comprises several sub-locations. Perhaps the main attraction here is the vantage location which it enjoys. Gbagada has quick accessibility to Lagos Island via the third mainland bridge and the Mainland through Oworonshoki-Oshodi expressway that links Ikorodu road and Agege motor road.
Atunrase Estate is located in Gbagada area of Lagos Mainland local government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The history of Atunrase Estate dates back to October 1st 1981, which was the date of the first road construction in that estate.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

Nigeria is officially The Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a federal constitutional republic comprising 36 states and its Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The country is located in West Africa. Lagos, currently the fifth largest city in the world, is the foremost manufacturing and port city in West Africa, and the hub of business and economic development in Nigeria. Lagos grew from 300,000 in 1950 to 10.5 million people in 2010. The growth of Lagos is primarily the result of its location on the west coast of Africa which has fostered the development of trade within its hinterland as well as with the neighbouring states. Atunrase Estate is located in Gbagada area of Lagos Mainland local government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The estate comprises of 200 plots of land with an estimated 7,000 population. The estate has a potential for green infrastructure because it is compact, it abuts against the line of a drainage canal which has room for urban forestry, and the existing ;landscape setting can accommodate some significant green infrastructure input that will improve the outlook of the Estate.

Fadera Williams is a Landscape Architect who Graduated from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. I happen to live about 20 minutes from my chosen area( Atunrase Estate and it's location and compactness has always drawn my attention to it. I believe if the Green Infrastructure principles are applied to this Estate it will increase the quality of Life of the residents in the area and also its environmental sustainability.

Lagos is the biggest and most important city in the Federation of Nigeria. The country, which is located in the coast of West Africa, consists of 30 states. Nigeria shares borders with Benin, Cameroon and Niger. Lagos is the main city of Lagos State, which is situated in the southwestern coast of Nigeria. The Metropolitan area of Lagos takes up to 37 per cent of the land area of Lagos State and houses about 90 per cents of its population (Unicef 1995, Aina 1990a).

The area of Lagos constitutes of two major regions: the Island, which is the original city and the Mainland, which is made up by rapidly growing settlements. The climate in Lagos is tropical, hot and wet. The environment is characteristic as coastal with wetlands, sandy barrier islands, beaches, low-lying tidal flats and estuaries. The average temperature in Lagos is 27 °C and the annual average rainfall 1532 mm (Aina 1994, Peil 1991).

Gbagada has always been a location of choice on the mainland, situated in Lagos Mainland local government. The area is mainly a residential neighbourhood but there is also a flourishing commercial/industrial part to it. Gbagada lies on both sides of the Oworonshoki –Oshodi expressway and comprises several sub-locations. Perhaps the main attraction here is the vantage location which it enjoys. Gbagada has quick accessibility to Lagos Island via the third mainland bridge and the Mainland through Oworonshoki-Oshodi expressway that links Ikorodu road and Agege motor road.
Atunrase Estate is located in Gbagada area of Lagos Mainland local government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The history of Atunrase Estate dates back to October 1st 1981, which was the date of the first road construction in that estate. It was a property which originally belonged to the Oloto Family of Oto, in Lagos State until it was purchased by Mr Sam Bola Atunrase. The estate comprises of 200 plots of land with an estimated 7,000 population. There is a drainage canal which was constructed by the Lagos State Government which is the boundary of the Estate.
