THE DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN AREAS � THE PREMISE OF A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY

Abstract

Urbanization represents a process in a continuous dynamic and which appeared through the concentration of a population in a certain space. Its expansion was achieved by increasing the population of a certain territory, growth based on different factors such as migration, natural growth, the transformation of some rural areas into urban areas or the expansion of rural towns. Together with these phenomena, the population is faced with atmospheric pollution, the increasingly acute housing crisis and waste management, to which is added the reduction of green spaces through their conversion into spaces occupied by various infrastructure works. Considering that, sustainable communities are designed to achieve a balance between economic and social growth and considering the limits of natural resources. The importance of these communities lies in the fact that they are integrated in such a way as to allow achieving a balance between the exploitation of natural resources and consumption leading thus regenerating resources and ensuring them for future generations.
