Definition

  • Urban green space refers to open areas reserved for parks and natural environments - encompassing plant life. The landscape of urban open spaces typically ranges from playing fields and highly maintained environments to more natural landscapes. It links ecological processes and functions and encompasses forests, roadside trees, park trees, garden trees, and nature conservation areas. In the context of urban land-use growth and its impact on the environment, green spaces offer ecosystem services to promote human health. Green spaces such as parks, public gardens, and roadside trees are vital components of urban planning. Available at: https://doi.org/10.3390/land10020105
