"The European Commission with the help of, Parliament and Council, produces many strategies meant to give guidance and disseminate best practise.
To ensure a European Urban Strategy is taken seriously is challenging. The financial interests in urban planning and development are such that it will take more than suggestions to ensure what we do now leads to safe liveable cities in the future.
Rather than the Strategy including a statement that green space is important to urban design, I think it better to state we need, say, 15% green space in urban areas or so many metres per 1000 population. Only a real target with weight behind it will stand up against land hungry developers.
In my constituency is a public housing area built 30 years ago. Planned in a way foreseen by this Strategy, there is ample green space, wide easy to negotiate roads and community infrastructure. This area has been a model of good practise and has served a community very well.
However, this area is threatened by city planners looking to build houses. Only an urban strategy spelling out actual percentages will create sufficient green spaces in cities, and prevent the elimination of those presently enjoyed."@en1
