	Benefits of green roof systems - environmental - Green Space
		In the urban core the provision of green space is usually already severely limited, partly through historical circumstances, and more recently very high land values; this makes the creation of new green space both important and difficult.
		Areas of green roofs can also provide accessible space for people to enjoy, and some can be landscaped to extend existing green space, for example at Canary Wharf station on the Isle of Dogs, London.
		The key issues that need to be considered in providing accessible open space are health and safety (the need for a external rail or fence), over-looking neighbouring properties (a material planning consideration), access to and from the roof-space, load-bearing (if the proposed numbers of people are to be more than a few), and management.

	Green Space in the City
		Determine the important of green space in maintaining environmental quality in terms of (a) effect on human life, and (b) effect on wildlife.
		Green space, especially in the form of parks and nature preserves, are integral parts of every American city.
		Despite the obvious advantages of having green space in cities, their establishment and maintenance has not always had smooth sailing.

	Great Public Spaces: Post Office Square \| Project for Public Spaces (PPS) - Placemaking for Communities
		Green areas within the park are plentiful, but there could be more.
		The project has not reached its financial break-even point as quickly as anticipated, due in part to fluctuations in real-estate prices; however, revenue per parking space (one measure the group uses to assess their future costs) has grown steadily through the 1990's, and the Friends of Post Office Square believes future financial stability is assured.
		At approximately $34,000 per space, the parking garage was one of the most expensive ever built.

	Green Spaces (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Proposed parks and green space stretching from Chelsea Creek to the Central Artery to the Neponset River are expected to transform the city's physical character and reconnect neighborhoods torn apart by highways and urban decay.
		The suburbanization of the post-World War II era, and the accompanying explosion of highway culture, eroded the city's concern for its urban spaces; though the late 1960s and '70s witnessed a rekindling of national interest in Olmsted and his parks, in most instances this interest was not matched by money.
		The finest of green spaces can quickly be destroyed by poor maintenance or lack of funding; parks must be constantly nurtured and improved.

		Green space attracts businesses, as it is proven that business prefers to locate in communities with an abundance of open space and pedestrian-friendly areas.
		Green space also delivers environmental education and increases environmental awareness to both children and adults.
		Also, green space reduces the cost of unnecessary treatment of stormwater and provides healthy groundwater recharge capabilities for restoring our watershed, as water is absorbed into the ground and filtered naturally rather than being expensively and unnecessarily piped to a water filtration center.

		The Green Space Element will address development of recreational opportunities and protection and restoration of the ecosystem, while recognizing the important existing water supply and flood control functions of the area.

		The degree to which city people walk or ride bicycles for their daily transportation needs depends largely on how much green space there is, says a new study that examines the role of urban design in physical fitness.
		New York City had the highest percentage that walked or bicycled for basic transportation, such as commuting to work or running errands, and the third highest amount of parkland.
		Atlanta had the lowest percentage for recreational walking or bicycling and the second lowest percentage of parkland, and Memphis had the lowest proportion of people who walked or rode for transportation purposes and the sixth lowest percentage of open space.

		It is rapidly urbanizing in the portion nearest the metropolitan county, has a "small town" atmosphere near the center, and has a distinctly rural ambience in the area at the furthest distance from the city.
		These results show that respondents overwhelmingly believe that protecting green space and agricultural areas are appropriate goals for the community.
		This should not be all that surprising, because these urban residents probably are somewhat more sensitive to the scarcity of green space than those who live in rural areas, but they do not necessarily associate green space itself with farmland.
