Abstract

Greenhouse gas emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major factors causing global climate change. Urban green space presumes a key part in controlling the general carbon cycle and reducing climatic CO2. To Improve the Environment and control the pollution, Green space has become important to diverse Planning concerns that live in the urban environment, to comprehension the part of urban green space in the urban environment. Remote sensing is a well-known tool due to its ability of monitoring urban vegetation rapidly and continuously. This paper asks how should we plan green space? We contend that planners can improve healthier cities for more people by reconsidering three facts of green space planning: Green Space as infrastructure, Green Space as Spaces of everyday life and Green Space as leisure destinations for recreation. The main objective is to build quality infrastructure and more adaptable space throughout the city.
