摘要：Open spaces systemsare at the top of the design hierarchy because of their wide environmental benefits. Parks, green areas, gardens, courtyards, gardens at schools and workplaces, are all example to explain what we mean by urban green open spaces in this research. All thesegreenery items in the city, with other city planning elements, such as buildings, squares and roads, form the main structure of the cityscape. Today the urban developmentthreats which are attacking our city spaces are numerous, leading us to realize thatwe must protect the city networks of open space; a green infrastructure master plan (GISMP) framework provides this strategic approach. But how efficient that approach is. This paper aims to develop a tool to evaluate the environmental efficiency of the GISMP when applied. In addition to revealing the potential for urban design where a green infrastructure approach is applied to decrease the impact of redevelopment on the quality of life in situations dealing with population growth and urban sprawl.
