Whilst an extensive body of literature exists on the environmental justice implications of urban greening in North America, Europe and to an extent Australasia, there are fewer analogous studies for tropical zone Asian city contexts. Given increasing global interest in the potential for urban greenspace to contribute to resilience in the face of environmental change and the higher vulnerability of Asian cities to environmental shocks, this is a notable gap. In response, this paper evaluates the contours of environmental justice debates within urban greenspace planning for one subtropical Asian city—Taipei. Through analysis of newspaper reporting on urban greenspace planning within Taipei, the potential and limitations of greenspace planning in contributing to equitably delivering benefits from urban greenspace towards resilience are assessed. Findings suggest that claims to environmental injustice in greenspace debates within Taipei follow broadly similar lines to controversies in Europe and North America. Nevertheless, the need for specific knowledge to understand the different ecosystem services provided by tropical zone ecosystems, and the potential for conflicts over greenspace versus development to be heightened in dense Asian city settings, are highlighted as potential areas where environmental justice debates in an Asian urban greening context may differ from Western cities.

亚洲亚热带城市城市绿化中的环境正义：台北的观点

尽管存在大量有关北美，欧洲以及一定程度上澳大利亚地区城市绿化对环境正义的影响的文献，但是针对热带地区亚洲城市环境的类似研究却很少。考虑到全球对城市绿地在应对环境变化的能力以及亚洲城市对环境冲击的更高脆弱性方面的潜力做出贡献的兴趣日益浓厚，这是一个明显的差距。作为回应，本文评估了亚洲一个亚热带城市台北的城市绿地规划中环境正义辩论的轮廓。通过分析台北市内城市​​绿地规划的报纸报道，评估了绿地规划在公平地提供城市绿地带来的抵御力方面的潜力和局限性。调查结果表明，台北在绿色空间辩论中对环境不公正的主张与欧洲和北美的争议大致相似。然而，作为亚洲亚洲城市环境正义辩论的潜在领域，强调了需要特定知识来理解热带地区生态系统所提供的不同生态系统服务，以及在绿地与开发方面的冲突在潜在的领域中加剧的可能性。绿化环境可能与西方城市有所不同。
