This document discusses sustainable architecture and greening neighborhoods through urban planning. It addresses how unchecked suburban development has led to the loss of green spaces. An existing sprawl can be made more sustainable by increasing density and integrating green areas, good transit, and appropriately planned spaces. The document outlines different types of urban green spaces like parks, playgrounds, and linear parks. It also discusses the environmental, social, and economic benefits of urban green spaces, such as reducing conflict, providing recreation, and supporting tourism. Proper planning and allocation of green spaces is important for neighborhood sustainability.

Urban sprawls and Green spaces:
1.Vigorous suburban
development has led, ironically,
to the disappearance of the
green spaces.
2.An existing sprawl can be
made more sustainable by
converting it to higher density,
more appropriately planned
spaces with good transit
systems and green areas.
3.Adequate Green areas need
to be introduced at the stage of
drafting of Development plan.

Alleged problems and issues that are caused by, or at least
associated with urban sprawl include the following:
1.Irreversible losses of forests, green space, wetlands, wildlife habitat, natural
environments, open space and scenery.
2.loss of agricultural lands and their production.
3.Increased traffic congestion and political pressures to build more roads.
4.Increases in air pollution (mainly due to automobile emissions) and water pollution
(mainly due to increases in sewage generation).
5.Inefficiencies due to high costs of providing utilities, roads, highways and infrastructure
to scattered, low density subdivisions and bedroom communities.
6.Generation of "fiscal deficits" and rapidly increasing taxes for jurisdictions where
infrastructure capital and Servicing operating costs exceed the development charges paid by
developers and additional tax revenues paid by property owners.
8.Increased conflicts with rural businesses and land uses that are incompatible with
residential areas, eg. rendering plants, livestock farming operations, abattoirs, stone and
gravel quarries.

Sustainable Standards
International minimum standard suggested by World Health Organization (WHO)
and adopted by the publications of United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) is a minimum availability of 9 m2 green open space per city
dweller(Kuchelmeister1998)
There is yet another yardstick, which refers to London but has relevance to any
city. Abercrombie (1943) prepared a plan in 1943-1944 suggesting that 1.62 ha
(four acres) open space per 1000 populationwas a reasonable figure to adopt for
London.21. Urban Forestry: Present Situation and Prospects in the Asia and Pacific

Urban Green spaces are:
1.Invaluable assets in maintaining ecological health in a highly
developed urban matrix.
2.Habitat values and ecological quality of these areas are often
challenged by consecutive urbanization.
3.Urban open spaces are vital part of urban landscape with its own
specific set of function.
4.Open spaces (natural or man made) contribute to the quality of
life in many ways (Burke and Ewan, 1999).
5.Besides important environmental benefits, these areas provide
social psychological services, which are critical for the livability of
the city and well being of urbanites (Chiesura, 2004).
6.(Thompson 2002) sees open spaces in cities as places to
celebrate cultural diversity, to engage with natural processes and
to conserve memories.

parts of urban areas .
2.It has an important role in providing for the recreational and leisure
needs of a community and
has an economic value in that of environmental enhancement.
Driver and Rosenthal (1978) identified social benefits of green spaces,
including trees and other features, as:
3.Developing, applying and testing skills and abilities for a better sense of worth; Exercising to stay
physically fit.
4.Associating with close friends and other users to develop a sense of social place.

• Teaching and leading others, especially to help direct the growth,
learning and development of community.
• Reflecting on personal and social values.
• Feeling free, independent and more in control than is possible in
a more structured home and work environment.
• Growing spiritually.
• Applying and developing creative abilities.
• Learning more about nature, especially natural processes, man’s
dependence upon them and how to live in greater harmony with
nature.
• Exploring and being stimulated, especially as a means of coping
with boring, undemanding jobs and to satisfy curiosity and the
need for exploration.
• Replenishing adaptive energies and abilities by temporarily
escaping adverse social and physical conditions experienced in
home, neighborhood and work environments.
The benefits and opportunities of Green space

Title-Sustainable Architecture: Greening the Areas with Respect to

Measuring the economic benefits of open space-
From an economic perspective, the valuation of urban open space is difficult to calculate because it is a classic public
good, where there is no market price. Its lack of value in monetary terms prevents urban open space from being properly
evaluated in cost-benefit analyses.
Neil Dunse and colleagues reviewed economic condition with reference to four key categories:
1 Proximity to open space-Being in close proximity to open spaces does have positive impact on property values, but
this is largely dependent on the type of open space and distance from the space.
2.Condition- The parks Were grouped into four categories: small and attractive, small and basic, Medium and
attractive, medium and basic. It was found that small, attractive parks have a positive and statistically significant
influence on neighboring property values and medium sized, attractive parks exhibited a positive, but not statistically
significant, effect. Basic parks, on the other hand, were found to have a negative and statistically significant impact on
neighboring property values.
3 Development potential-Neil Dunse suggests that any amenity values associated with an open space are likely to
vary, depending on its development potential - permanently protected open space may be valued more highly than
open space that could be developed in the future. This does seem to be the case.
4 Economic status of the area-
a.Employment opportunities- Green spaces in urban areas can provide opportunities for community involvement that
can in turn help to develop a sense of self-esteem and enable individuals and communities to develop skills new to
themselves.
b.Tourism- Some urban open spaces not only provide opportunities for local people and their daily life but can also be
used as regional or national attractions for tourists .

Green Open space typologies:
There are various typologies given by researchers, organizations & authorities to
differentiate various types of open spaces .
1.Domestic urban open spaces:
Domestic urban open spaces are those open spaces in the urban context that are physically closest to home. These
include spaces that are integral within a housing area, private gardens, community gardens and allotments. The first two
are those most closely linked with the home because they are the physical setting within which the home is placed.
Community gardens may be associated with a small group of family houses, a small block of flats for professional people
or perhaps a group of bungalows for the elderly. Community gardens are thus shared physically but the use of them may
not be a shared experience—it may be that one might be the only user at a particular time.

2.Neighborhood urban open spaces:
Neighborhood urban open spaces are those that are part of the neighborhood in two ways-First of all they are physically
further from home, except on rare occasions. than domestic urban open spaces. This means that to use neighborhood
urban open spaces one has to make a very specific decision to do so. This may be different from some domestic urban
open spaces which one can almost treat as an extension of the home. E.g. Parks, Playgrounds, Playing fields and sports
grounds, School playgrounds, Streets, City farms, Incidental spaces and natural green space.

Sub categories of urban Green spaces:
A neighborhood Park: can range in size from 1 to 15 acres.
Include spaces for passive and active uses.
Picnic areas, playgrounds, areas for games such as basketball , football, baseball.
Community Parks:
A Community Park can range in size from 16 to 99 acres typically will serve several neighborhoods. It includes
parking facilities
Passive and active facilities.
Include biking and walking trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, athletic fields, and court areas.
Special Use Parks:
Special Use Parks are parks which have been designed for a single special purpose.
Variable in size.
Examples: zoos, arboretums, plazas, or memorials.
Linear Parks:
These are developed to accommodate walking or bicycle trails. Usually, these parks are developed along a
natural or utility corridor; often serve the secondary purpose of linking two or more parks together.
Common Open Space:
It is a territory that is jointly used by a group of people. It is not a public because those who not hold it common
can be excluded. It is not a private either because it has to be shared with others.
Plaza Bonuses:
It is generally intended to improve the quality of contiguous streets and sidewalks and to give space
between the buildings and crowded sites.
Natural Parks:
Locations that are virtually free of man-made structures. Used for passive, low impact activities such
as trail walking, wildlife watching, and controlled primitive camping.

Revitalizing Cities:
Urban parks, gardens, and recreational open space stimulate commercial growth and promote inner-city
revitalization.
Boosting Tourism:
Open space boosts local economies by attracting tourists and supporting outdoor recreation.
Protecting Farms and Ranches:
Protecting agricultural lands safeguards the future of farming economies and communities.
Safeguarding the Environment:
Open space conservation is often the cheapest way to safeguard drinking water, clean the air, and achieve
other environmental goals.
Low-income neighborhoods populated by minorities and recent immigrants are especially short of park
space. From an equity standpoint, there is a strong need to redress this imbalance.

Green Parks and Community building:
1.Help build and strengthen ties among community residents by bringing people together, including those who are
otherwise divided by race or class, and by helping them work together on common projects .
2. They provide avenues through which information, values, and social expectations flow, and they empower
people to tackle communitywide problems, embark on collective actions, and advocate effectively for their
community
3.Older adults who have more exposure to green common space feel a stronger sense of community with their
neighbors . Results are independent of how they feel about their personal health or their fear of crime. Effect is
increased when older adults are involved in care of the parks.
4.Act as a safe, common meeting ground to connect homes and businesses Become psychological extensions of

Green Spaces In Indian Context-
1.Most of the Indian cities are far behind in quality as well as quantity of urban forests than their counterpart in Europe
and America .
2.High population density is one of the reasons for underdevelopment of urban greenery sector. India can learn a lot
from Chinese model of urban forestry development as both of them are the topmost populated countries of the world.
3.Plantations and green areas in Indian cities are not sufficiently provided. Extensive plantation is required to be carried
out covering the entire cities for fulfilling the functions of aesthetic landscaping, microclimate control and control of
pollution.
4. Green areas should also provide buffer to sensitive areas such as monuments and sources of pollution including
industrial areas, transportation zones and offer recreation

2.On the face of climate change, adaptation and mitigation actions for cities in
India are critically required where the urban population is likely to grow by around

water use, and aid adaptation to changing climate conditions.
2.Planting of shady trees will reduce the urban heat island effect, creating more livable
outdoor spaces. Edible landscaping is a responsible and worthwhile use of landscape space,
even in the front yard.
3.Water retention and filtering will help protect water quality.

Preserving the existing vegetative cover ameliorates
climatic problems in many ways:
1.It shades the ground surface.
2.It retains the cooling moisture of precipitation.
3.It protects the soils and environs from the freezing winds.
4.It cools and refreshes heated air by evapotranspiration.
5.Topographical forms, tall buildings, trees, or other objects may reduce the
total hours of daylight. The sun’s orbit and angle of incidence vary with the
seasons.
6.By orientation, screening, and overhang the amount of sunlight admitted to
the interior can be precisely controlled. It provides sunscreen, shade, and
shadow.
7.It helps to prevent rapid runoff and recharges the water-bearing soil strata.
It checks the wind.
8.Install new plantings where needed. They may be utilized for various
types of climate control. Windscreens, shade trees, and heat absorptive
ground covers are examples.

The typical residential landscape.
1.What is usually seen on a residential site is a one- or two-story house surrounded by an expanse of lawn and various
plantings.
2. Regardless of the size of the site, the house is usually placed near the middle of the site, thus creating front
yards and backyards of similar sizes and narrow side yards.
3. The front yard is most often thought of as a public setting for the house. A lawn, often manicured to create a lush
green carpet, occupies most of this area with a driveway situated along one side of the site.
4. In arid areas of the country, the lawn area may be replaced with gravel or decomposed granite
5. The front yard is often dotted with trees, shading various parts of the yard. Typically, a row of plants extends along
the entire base of the house. This foundation planting often consists only of coniferous or broad-leaved evergreens that
provide a year-round wall of green color .
3. Finally, a narrow walk extends from the driveway and/or street to the front door of the house .
4. The backyard is the most varied area of the typical residential site. .The backyard is usually enclosed with walls, fences,
or plantings . In these situations, the backyard is apt to be the most private area on the site.

Title-Sustainable Architecture: Greening the Areas with Respect to
Neighborhood Planning
71. Creation of green spaces, conserving them, and
preventing their shrinkage definitely add to
improvement of Urban Quality Of Life in a positive
way. It helps to maintain the ecological balance by
addition of green areas to new ones and creating
many such breathing spaces.
An Architect has a great ecological and social
responsibility regarding all these degrading aspects of
environment and to create an eco friendly design to
improve the quality of urban life
