ABSTRACT

Urban green space encompasses a range of land uses and conditions, including public parks and gardens, nature reserves, streetscapes, squares and plazas, pocket parks, and river and creek corridors. Besides providing the spaces where people play, relax, socialize, and exercise, urban green space supports the social and physical dimensions of human health and well-being and is linked to the concepts of ‘place’ and ‘sense of place,’ and so can also be seen as supporting resilience.
