The future of city parks
case study: Kralingse BosThe future of city parks
case study: Kralingse BosSamenvatting
Climate change is an ongoing worldwide event with visible effects in all levels and divisions of society. Large scaled projects to counter climate change are mostly investing in industrial programmes or outsourced projects to foreign (mostly third-world) countries. The world is undergoing an urbanisation process where it is expected to account for 68% of the total world population to be living in urban areas by the year 2050. This means that urban areas are going to be much more important hotspots for climate change mitigation and human wellbeing. At present, urban green areas are undervalued and should be reviewed on all their potential values to society and climate change. Urban green provides multiple ecosystem services which are to the utmost importance in cities as its effect to human well-being is most evident there.
