Abstract

Balancing growth and green is often seen as a competition between urban development and protection. However, experiences show that a spatial structure of multi-functional urban green areas may contribute significantly to sustainable economic and ecological development and to the quality of urban life. This research is concerned with planning concepts and policy instruments for integrated urban planning and management. The focus is on approaches to governance built upon participatory decision making and communication between government at different levels and other actors at the local level. The project involves the generation of theoretical hypotheses, a GIS procedure to prepare maps and databases, case studies to confront theory and practice and a stage of recommendations. The study will include stakeholders from cities in the 5 countries. The outcome will be a toolkit of planning concepts and policy instruments.
