A Changing Understanding of the Role of Greenspace in High-density Housing: A European Perspective

摘要

Greenspace in the city is constantly under threat, particularly today as governments seek to increase housing densities. With case studies from the Netherlands and Sweden, this paper emphasizes the multi-functional nature of greenspace within the land-use planning system and demonstrates that there are many reasons to take its planning and enhancement more seriously, before too much is lost irretrievably to development.
