            There is a great diversity in the series of valleys in Perm. The investigation 
            focuses on strategies for valleys with a less urban character and 
            situated in areas with limited urban activity and lower density. Here, 
            a clear definition of the valley edge is not possible, neither is 
            a seperation between areas for building development and green protected 
            areas. The green slopes are scattered with detached, predominantly 
            wooden houses, blending with its gardens into the landscape. In order 
            to preserve the prevailing balance between programmed and natural 
            conditions, a destinction has to be made between ‘building within 
            block contours’ and ‘building within the valley’. 
            In a following step, specific constraints for building development 
            within the valley or the adjacent blocks have to be established. |
