“…This condition is far below the standard per capita green space recommended by WHO to enable a city have enough green spaces for its dwellers which is 9m 2 (Faudy & Darjosanjot, 2012;Singh et al, 2010;Thaiutsa et al, 2008).…”

Preserving natural environment in the physical landscape of cities is an important component of the garden city model. It helps to maintain ecological balance between nature and human activities. This paper sought to assess the garden city status of Kumasi (Ghana) from the perspective of available green vegetation (green spaces). Using a case study research strategy, archival records (such as Landsat satellite images), documentary data and personal observations constituted the sources of data for the study. It was found out that Kumasi has lost most of its green vegetation to housing developments and commercial activities. The city's preserved green belts have become vacant, most of the parks and gardens are no more with many of the remaining parks converted into commercial centres. Urban sprawl was also very prevalent causing excessive loss of green vegetation at the fringes of the city. Kumasi now lacks enough green vegetation which is contrary to the garden city model that the city was built on. It is therefore recommended that conservation of the green vegetation should be made a priority by the city authorities with appropriate green space strategy put in place to guide the development of the city's green spaces.

Urban Green Space Development has become a challenging task for city governments especially in Indonesia, due to high prices of land around urban centers. On the other hand, there are inconsistencies between land use and land allocation within the city planning. In Surabaya City, quite a lot of gas stations were built on areas which are originally intended for green open spaces. Surabaya City Municipality is strongly committed to reconvert Gas Station Areas to green open spaces as determined in the plan. Innovative strategies have enabled the city government to reconvert 13 gas stations to public parks. This paper analyzes the implementation process of the Urban Green Space Reconversion Policy, describing the historical details of the issues, the taking over of land from gas station owners, and the park development and campaigning. Discussion also includes the most influential factors in this success story.

“…Today, green space planning has become a priority in urban planning and requires an integrated approach to achieving sustainable urban environment (Waldheim, 2006). In urbanization processes, natural features such as vegetation and natural soil are replaced with building materials for constructing residential areas, commercial buildings, roads and parking lots, to the extent that today , there is no optimal balance between green space area and open areas between urban networks and land natural patterns (Thaiutsa et al, 2008). Results of studies on land use changes from 1976 to 2006 in the city of Tabriz indicate that during 30 years, area of 6970.99 hectares has been allocated to construction, a total of 1542.57h of which was constructed on city's green spaces and orchards.…”

“…Therefore, in urbanization processes, natural features such as vegetation and natural soils will be replaced with building materials for construction of residential areas, commercial buildings, roads and parking lots, to the extent that today there is no optimal balance between green space surface and open areas between urban networks and natural patterns (Thaiutsa, 2008). Moreover, urban networks are dominating ecological networks, which in itself lead to a ground for loss of green spaces within the city and use change of such lands, which may lead to global environmental problems such as formation of urban heat islands.…”

This paper attempts to analyze factors involved in the development of urban green spaces with a systematic and structural approach and extract the most important factors for the optimal development of urban green spaces using relationships between these factors. This applied study was conducted using a descriptive analytical method, which attempted to present solutions to structural development of green spaces in Tabriz City as a case study. This study's findings can be generalized on cities with same condition. Thus, in order to achieve this goal, all factors involved in the development of green spaces have been initially extracted using Delphi method. Then, analysis of factors that have been extracted from MICMAC, relevance of factors involved in the development of green spaces in the city of Tabriz have been analyzed and finally key factors were determined. Eleven factors have identified as key factors that have important role in development of optimal green spaces in Tabriz city.
