Summary/Abstract: Such negative phenomena as global warming, air polution, quality of life leading to the growth of stress, genetically modified foods and large amounts of chemicals will not favor as a remedy for the concept of eco-cities. Changes in the direction of the ecological city thus appear to be a necessity. In fact, there are not fully ecological cities so far. Most relevant to the broader concept of “eco” are villages located in natural surroundings, primarily rural communities. They can be created from scratch and include a different vision of ecological solutions. Existing urban areas should plan and implement concepts on the one hand referring to the past, namely the existence of so-called uncontrolled biosphere, on the other, using a solution of “smart” urban infrastructure.
