Multi-functional Urban Green Spaces

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Making Green Cities

Part of the book series: Cities and Nature ((CITIES))

Abstract

The papers in this chapter aim to contribute to a better understanding about the planning of multifunctional urban green infrastructure for compact cities (Hansen and Pauleit) and a general concept of visitors’ demands and supply of recreational services (Breuste et al.). Szilassi et al. discuss people’s perception of various structural vegetation types. The recreational use of nature areas in Istanbul shows the attractiveness of urban green areas of different types (Hayir-Kanat and Breuste). This also includes the relationship between the form and structure of green spaces (Faggi and Breuste) and the urban ecosystem resources (Rahimi and Breuste). The connectivity of social ties and biodiversity is exemplary explained on an urban park (Reyes-Paecke et al.). Onose et al. show that urban green areas can be troublesome in urban development and in the perception of people. Nita et al. try to find a balance in multifunctionality of urban parks by visitors’ perceptions. The case studies cover a wide scope of geographical backgrounds, ranging from Central Europe (Hansen and Pauleit, Szilassi et al.) to Southeastern Europe (Onose et al., Nita et al., Hayir-Kanat and Breuste), Latin America (Faggi and Breuste, Reyes-Paecke et al.), China, (Breuste et al.) and Iran (Rahimi and Breuste).
