Abstract
In order to secure and create urban green space, actions need to be coordinated across different policy areas and between institutions and persons involved in sustainable urban development as well as on different subnational planning levels (regional level, city-wide level, district/site level). The implementation needs to be seen as a joint task by authorities, citizens, enterprises, and other stakeholders.
