“…Therefore, it underwent full peer review but has not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the published version: Baró, F., Haase, D., Gómez-Baggethun, E., Frantzeskaki recommends that urban population should have an accessible green space no more than 300 m from 623 home (Barbosa et al, 2007). However, these standards have been criticized because they fail to 624 address issues such as green space quality or local context and needs (Pauleit et al, 2003). Still, some 625 authors claim that green space recreational standards are needed but they should be locally developed 626 according to specific social and quality criteria (Baycan-Levent and Nijkamp, 2009).…”

“…Herzele and Wiedemann (2003) developed an integrated indicator to assess the accessibility and attractiveness of urban greenspace in four Flemish cities. Pauleit et al (2003) proposed a more flexible approach named Accessible Natural Greenspace Standards Model to promote the natural greenstructure of towns and cities and devised a decision-support framework for its implementation. Li and Wang (2003) proposed a method for the evaluation, planning and prediction of ecosystem services of urban greenspace, applying landscape ecological principles, taking Yangzhou City in China as the case.…”

Greenspace is an important part of complex urban ecosystems and provides significant ecosystem services. It benefits urban communities environmentally, esthetically, recreationally and economically. Beijing Province is in north of China, and has a total area of 16,807.8 km 2 and a population of about 13.8 million. This paper aims to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework for urban greening of Beijing Province based on landscape ecological principles. It attempts to answer how to establish an urban greening plan at the regional, city and neighborhood levels to achieve long-term sustainability. At the regional level, a big natural and semi-natural forest area in the northwest and an ecological buffer belt in the southeast are planned to protect the environmental quality of Beijing and provide habitats for wildlife. At the city level, a green network system of green wedges, parks and green corridors has been proposed. This green network helps to limit future urban expansion, improve urban environmental quality and serve as habitats and migration routes for wildlife. At the neighborhood level, green extensions and connections of riverside greenway, road greenway, parks and vertical greening permeate into the built-up areas. They provide open space close to residential areas and offer places for recreation. This three-level green system constitutes an integrated ecological network for urban sustainable development of Beijing. For future development of Beijing, urban parks, forestry, agriculture, water and infrastructure should be planned and designed in an integrated way. After this greenspace plan is legislated and completely realized, Beijing will develop an interconnected and integrated network of urban greenspaces. It has the prospect of achieving the aim of "Green Olympic City 2008" and the long-term goal of developing Beijing towards an "Eco-City".

“…In many urban areas the creation of new public green spaces has not kept pace with the growth of the built-up areas (Pauleit 2003). In addition, the information on the provision and quality of urban green space is rather limited, while policy and planning on urban green is rather fragmented in most cities (Pauleit 2003;Pauleit et al 2003;Scottish Executive 2001;Szulczewska and Kaliszuk 2003). In many cases, we do observe lack of project rationalization for green spaces, weak management and implementation structures and limited funding possibilities (De Sousa 2003;DTLR 2001;Pauleit 2003;Scottish Executive 2001;Tyrväinen and Väänänen 1998).…”

This paper focuses the attention on the importance of urban green areas in the context of urban sustainability policy. Special attention is given to the conditions that are responsible for successful urban green space planning. Based on a systematic extensive data base on relevant attributes of urban green in 23 European cities, our study aims to identify the critical success factors for the effective provision and maintenance of green spaces in the city, by using a multidimensional principal component analysis. By means of this comparative analysis, it is possible to specify transferable policy lessons on urban green spaces.Pn243tbl
