Abstract
This paper investigates the role of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) in the preservation and spatial enhancement of built heritage within cultural-historical settings. Using the Bubanj Memorial Park in Niš, Serbia, as an illustrative example, the research explores how ecological elements can be integrated into heritage conservation to support sustainable development, reinforce place identity, and revitalize neglected memorial landscapes. UGI is positioned as a collaborative and multidisciplinary tool that connects environmental and cultural values. Through conceptual design guidelines rooted in ecological planning and heritage interpretation, the study shows how green systems contribute to the transmission of collective memory and encourage public trust in the urban environment. The findings advocate for a dynamic approach to heritage, treating it as an active component of contemporary urban life. By bridging architecture, landscape, and memory, the paper highlights the potential of UGI to foster inclusiveness, community engagement, and long-term care for shared cultural assets.
