Tech/Engineering - Architecture
German term or phrase: durchgrünte
Wiederaufbau und durchgrünte Großsiedlungen sind kennzeichnend für die Jahre des „Wirtschaftswunders“ (1.Phase), das sein Ende in betonierten Großstrukturen
(2. Phase) findet. Mit Beginn der Rezession führt planerisches Umdenken zu Bauerhaltung und zu Maßnahmen der Stadterneuerung (3.Phase). Trotz der Nachfrage nach Einfamilienhäusern am Stadtrand ist die Bebauung von Lücken und von brach gefallenen Flächen vornehmste Aufgabe zur Entwicklung einer kompakten Stadt (4.Phase).

Danke.

verdant


Explanation:
Another (rather literary) way of saying "green" without stating how the greenery got there. Might make a nice contrast to the "concrete jungles".
