Restoring Urban Green Spaces

This edited book aims to explore various facets of the restoration of urban green spaces, examining both the theoretical frameworks and practical approaches that contribute to their conservation and enhancement. By bringing together contributions from researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community stakeholders, the book intends to provide a comprehensive overview of current practices, challenges, innovations, and future directions in urban green space restoration. Urbanization is rapidly transforming landscapes worldwide, leading to the depletion of natural green spaces within cities. The consequence of this trend includes ecological degradation, compromised biodiversity, and diminished quality of life for urban residents. However, there is a growing recognition of the importance of restoring and enhancing urban green spaces to mitigate these impacts and promote sustainable urban development. This book targets academics, researchers, urban planners, landscape architects, environmental consultants, policymakers, and community activists interested in sustainable urban development, environmental conservation, and landscape restoration. It aims to serve as a valuable resource for professionals working in fields related to urban green spaces and as a reference for students and scholars exploring these topics.
