Densification threatens urban green spaces, leaving cities at risk
This article reviews how cities are planning green spaces as they become more crowded. Cities are getting denser to tackle sprawl issues, but this may threaten green places in urban areas. While dense city development can harm green spaces, there's a lack of clear solutions in this planning style. Challenges include balancing private with public green spaces during city growth. To tackle this, experts suggest ways to preserve and improve green spaces in compact cities. They found that simply adding more public green places may not make up for lost private green areas. The research points out the need for more study on how to maintain the quantity and quality of green spaces as cities grow.
