Abstract: This paper explores contemporary issues and challenges involved in designing urban open space in growing cities.
The goal is to stimulate discussion about the quality of urban open space by integrating green infrastructure.
Urban development and urban densification have an impact on open space in the city – both quantitatively and
qualitatively. Urban heat islands also influence the quality of open space. It is argued that green infrastructure can
help mitigate these effects on different levels. Site-specific solutions need to be elaborated and should be monitored
to enhance our knowledge of multifunctional open-space design in growing cities.
Keywords: design, green infrastructure, landscape architecture, urban open space
