Modern Green Spaces

The importance of green spaces in towns and cities has been recognized to varying degrees since the 19th century. The apparent value of green spaces in providing an escape from widespread urban air pollution serving as a major driver in creating new parks and green spaces. Over the last 20 years, a rise in interest has taken shape for quality and quantity of green space in urban areas. Three major factors have contributed to this trend: 1) concern about the decline in the quality of green spaces, due largely to low priority in the political agenda on national and local levels, 2) emphasis on the necessity for more intensive development in urban area, informed by "the hight-density 'compact city' " as the model for European cities and where green spaces fit into that, and 3)Improved evidence base supporting the benefits of urban green space, and environmental social and economic value to society.

Brown spaces also need to be taken into account

upsurge reflected as increase in research and professional activity In the UK a number of key documents produced in the last decade has led to government recognition of the vital importance of urban parks and green spaces as key components of urban environments

significance of urban green space on the developing urban environment and urban city life recognised by the Urban Task Force Report and the Urban White Paper, DETR 2000
