摘要：The high concentration of inhabitants and economic activities in urban areas are increasing pressure on the green elements in cities and suburban zones, and these are now under pressure to retain their original functions and benefits for society. While urban development helps society meet its demands for a higher living standard, citizen life quality is decreasing because of the loss of natural green areas. In addition, societal development already highlights the future trends which must be addressed in planning and managing urban growth. Recreation and leisure-time are most important for healthy human life, but these needs must be incorporated and satisfied within the green areas of the cities and suburbs. This paper therefore provides a basic overview of the best ways to design and create successful zones for everyday recreation for the city inhabitants – especially concentrating on activities in public parks and our open green areas.
