The quality of life and environment in settlements is directly linked to the condition of open spaces, especially green spaces, which contribute significantly to the quality of life, the preservation of the natural environment, the structure and perception of space in settlements, the health of residents and quality of leisure activities. Ensuring that green spaces which fulfil various functions are of sufficient quality is linked to their integrated planning and management. This handbook therefore focuses on defining specific guidelines and more detailed rules for green space planning and management for individual development areas (see diagram below). However, it should be highlighted that the guidelines always follow from the design of the green urban system – the integrated green space planning in urban area. The guidelines provided are intended to improve the quality of spatial planning and its implementation at the local level, while the task also presents a holistic approach to integrated landscape planning in urban space, emphasising the importance of the integrity and complexity of green space planning and design from the strategic to the implementation level.
