  • Abstract:

    Parks are all public spaces in the sense that they provide a place for anyone to use for rest, relaxation or recreational purposes in an environment of effective individual or collective interrelationship under conditions of certain security. (Low, Taplin, Scheld, 2005, pág 3). Open spaces and urban parks have become essential elements in the development of cities practically since the beginning of urban planning. The park thus becomes a wide-spectrum vaccine that prevents space from the stress of urban life, softens the aggressive asphalt and cement landscape and recycles, converts and purifies noise and gases from motorisation and pollution.
