Typology Of Green Spaces

Biodiversity in urban spaces varies among the different types of city green space projects, an aspect to consider since it is the first action to take for the design, such as the diversity, biotope, creation, species of plants, running water, etc. Thus, it is important to investigate if the different types of urban green spaces meet the needs and expectations of users, the social, economic and environmental contributions and benefits, barriers and encouraging factors to use them, in such a way that a typology of users can be developed. Resourcing urban green space management is more than an increase in funding to become a creative and innovative orientation of available resources, the associated costs, partnerships, and comparing the spending between the different types.
