Sustainable City Design Through the Use of Recreation and Leisure Parks in The Landscape

Abstract

The landscape plays a critical role in the development of recreational parks that contribute to sustainable urban planning. Today’s cities pose several problems, but they also contain the key to achieving a more sustainable steady state. Parks and other open green areas in cities contribute significantly to people's quality of life. As such, the study examines how sustainable urban design might be achieved through the use of landscape. Additionally, it examines the psychological advantages of leisure, the importance of landscape to sustainability, and how effective landscaping may be used to achieve ideal open spaces. The paper describes how recreation improves the human body and keeps it healthy and how a park may be carefully managed via the use of landscape to be sustainable for an extended time while also creating comfortable public places. Due to the interpretative viewpoint taken, the case study technique was deemed the most appropriate strategy to use. The case study demonstrates that the landscape around an area's natural characteristics is critical to its sustainability since parks with an excellent and well-landscaped environment continue to draw significantly more people than artificial features. The study revealed that a place's environment dictates how people would utilize its resources and spaces, demonstrating that for a facility to be sustainable, its landscape and green areas are critical components.
