JOURNAL - URBAN DESIGN INTERNATIONAL

http://www.palgrave-journals.com/udi/index.html

Urban Design International is an essential forum for the exchange of information and debate concerning issues of urban design and management.


The article ‘More green space in a denser city: Critical relations between user experience and urban form’ interests me. This article informs about new approach on how urban design affects green space accessibility, how urban structure distributes open space to people and how it creates users and stakeholders. Green and open space is a vital part of sustainable urbanism. In the article green and open space ratio to the building structures are calculated and analysed scientifically from surveys and the results are presented by maps, graphs and tables. Green space has many positive benefits such as health benefit, environmental, ecological benefit and social benefit. Green space can remove large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which are beneficial to human health and the environment.
