Abstract

Now is the time for cities to take bold action and to exponentially increase green spaces. Faced with an ageing 20th century urban infrastructure and the emergence of many new cities, there is an increasing recognition that plant life and new public spaces are central to the vitality of global cities. Industrial era urban design banished nature to the outskirts of cities or contained nature within strictly defined parks. Recently, local government and private sector urban leaders have been creating interconnected green spaces that transform the urban fabric for human and environmental benefit. Green infrastructure and new forms of urban living provide functional benefits, including clean air and water, and improve quality of life, as new public spaces allow inhabitants to connect with each other and with nature.
