In the late 19 – early 20 centuries while integrating gardens and green spaces into residential area spaces the city of Lviv managed to form a complex system of outdoor intra-block and inter-block gardens, as well as villa and detached housing areas. In 1870–1890 the urban planning solution of south-western districts of Lviv, in particular, Kastelivka in NovyiSvit area, was initiated with construction of villas and detached houses.It appeared to be the first ever attempt in Lviv to arrange a large complex residential area.In 1910 the main changes in Lviv spatial development, related to the experience of creating suburban garden-cities, determined emergence of areas built up with villas and detached houses on the upper plots of the southern and south-western city suburbs, namely within NovyiLviv territory.The latter appeared to be the most favourable for housing a residential area.
