z Conclusion
z
Urban green spaces fulfill many functions in urban

context that benefits people’s quality of life. Steadily
growing traffic and urban heat, especially in the
developing countries is not only damaging the
environment but also incur social and economic costs. Conclusion
z
The ecological benefits bestowed in green spaces which

range from protecting and maintaining the biodiversity to
helping in the mitigation of change cannot be overlooked
in today’s sustainable planning. Conclusion
z
Urban green spaces, especially public parks and gardens provide

resources for relaxation and recreation. Green spaces need to be
uniformly distributed throughout the city area, and the total area
occupied by green spaces in the city should be large enough to
accommodate the city population needs. Conclusion
