Project Overview

The project on "Assessment of Urban Green Spaces: Enhancing Sustainable Development in Urban Areas" aims to investigate the critical role of urban green spaces in promoting sustainable development within urban environments. Urban green spaces, such as parks, gardens, and urban forests, play a vital role in enhancing the quality of urban life, improving environmental sustainability, and fostering community well-being. This research seeks to evaluate the current state of urban green spaces, identify challenges and opportunities for their enhancement, and propose strategies for maximizing their contributions to sustainable urban development. The project will begin with a comprehensive literature review to examine existing research on urban green spaces, sustainable urban development, and the relationship between green spaces and various aspects of urban life. By synthesizing findings from previous studies, the research aims to establish a solid theoretical foundation for the study and identify gaps in the current knowledge that the project can address. The research methodology will involve a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches, including site surveys, interviews with key stakeholders, and data analysis. Through fieldwork and data collection, the project will assess the current distribution, quality, and accessibility of urban green spaces in selected urban areas. This assessment will help identify areas for improvement and guide the development of recommendations for enhancing existing green spaces and creating new ones where needed. The findings of the research will be presented and discussed in Chapter Four, where the analysis of the data collected will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of urban green spaces in contributing to sustainable development goals. By examining factors such as biodiversity, ecosystem services, social equity, and economic benefits, the research aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of urban green spaces on urban sustainability. In conclusion, the project will offer practical recommendations and strategies for policymakers, urban planners, and other stakeholders to enhance urban green spaces as a means of promoting sustainable development in urban areas. By emphasizing the importance of preserving and expanding green spaces within cities, the research seeks to contribute to the creation of healthier, more resilient, and more sustainable urban environments for current and future generations.
