description The review of Integrated green spaces in urban areas – A case study of inner Brisbane highlight the significance of addressing characteristics, qualities and landscape values in our outdoor environment. The importance of green spaces to the wellbeing of people in the city and the ecological, social and cultural values they carry are widely recognised in the field of urban and regional planning. At the same time population growth, climate change and urban development put planners and scientists in a challenging position where new solutions must be put on the agenda in order to accomplish sustainability. Open space strategies, collaboration between stakeholders, public participation, learn from earlier failings and a “value-led” approach facilitate the managing of open space. Brisbane is located in the fastest growing metropolitan region in Australia. The city´s open space landscapes offer cultural, geographical, recreational, social and scenic amenity assets, which make a major contribution to the regions identity they a wide world known for. Landscape values within open space highly improve liveability and quality of life for all residents. The operated case study of two parks in inner Brisbane, South Bank Parklands and the City Botanic Gardens show the wide range of different characteristics included in the design. The qualities and the characteristics found in landscapes, parks and gardens are essential for the usage and the attractiveness. By addressing perceived dimensions in green spaces, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats can be further evaluated. Only an integrated and well-designed open space system can meet the needs of a growing and changing community.

Arbetet “Integrated grönstruktur i urbana områden - en fallstudie över centrala Brisbane” betona vikten av att kartlägga karaktärer, kvaliteter och landskapvärden i vår utemiljö. Fördelarna med att integrera grönstruktur i stadsmiljöer för vårt välbefinnand och de ekologiska, sociala och kulturella värderingar de bär är allmänt erkända inom urban och regional planering. Befolkningstillväxt, klimatförändringar och urbanisering sätter planerare och forskare i en utmanande position där nya lösningar måste sättas på dagordningen för att åstadkomma hållbarhet. Tydligt utvecklade strategier, samarbete mellan aktörer, allmänhetens deltagande och ett “värde-baserat” beslutsfattande ger ökade positiva resultat för hantering av grönstrukturplanering. Brisbane tillhör den snabbast växande storstadsregion i Australien. Stadens öppna landskap erbjuder kulturella, geografiska, sociala och rekreativa kvaliteter som bidrag till regionens välkända identitet. Landskapets värden inom grönstrukturen förbättrar livskvalitet för alla invånare. Den genomförda fallstudie av två parker i centrala Brisbane, South Bank Parklands och the City Botanic Gardens visar på flera olika karaktärer i sin fysiska utformning. De kvaliteter och egenskaper som finns i landskapet, i våra parker och trädgårdar är väsentliga för användningen och attraktionskraften. Genom att kartlägga olika “upplevelsevärden” i grönstrukturen så kan man få fram en analysbild av områdets styrkor, svagheter, möjligheter och hot. Endast en integrerad och väl utformad grönstruktur kan möta behoven hos ett växande och föränderligt samhälle.
