- Abstract
The study clearly demonstrates once again that the political developments in the country very powerfully influence the urban planning processes, and bring corrections in the character of the cultural - historical development. This is attributable both to the devastations of the war and construction trends brought during the peacetime, so creating a historical layering of the urban space. Until 1944, the southeastern part of Jelgava - Katoļu, Dīķu, Pasta, Jāņa street development was a typical German small trader 2-3 storey wooden development. In turn, Akadēmijas and Palīdzības streets marked the character of the multi-storey tenement houses and public development that emerged seamlessly nearby the railway station. With the transformation of the structure and scale of the urban development, changing not only the height contours, density and form creation, but also the intensity of the green areas. With the increase in the density of development, tree plantations get a new compositional arrangement. This applies to backyards and some green recreation spaces, and on the plantations in straight lines on the streets. It is particularly important to evaluate the study findings in developing the modern spatial plan, trying to find a synthesis between the historical and the 21st century trends in construction. Attention should be paid to the possible renewal (reconstruction) of the building burned down during the war, so through the search of the synthesis recovering the city's cultural-historical values
