Abstract
Open spaces are part of our city’s history, some stretched back to the era of Colonialism; to the beginning of our urban culture. They witnessed many events—blood, tears, and joy of our forefathers in creating the cities that we live in today. Losing them would be insanity, like erasing parts of our memory. Just imagine a city without open spaces. Is it possible to sustain life in a concrete jungle with constant overcrowding and pollution without having spaces for recreation and human interaction? Planning for sustainable urban environment is often said to consist of ‘Commodities, Firmness, and Delight’ —the environmental qualities which determine the city’s ability to sustain its social, economic structure, and aesthetic values. In the global environment, open spaces play a pivotal role at the time of declining natural resources, increasing pollution,destruction of ozone layers, and fear of green house effect. Without open spaces, the long term sustainability of our cities is in some serious doubt.
