| Sumario: | 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. |
