This paper studies the size and location of small urban green areas across city spaces. Small urban green areas offer amenities that affect residential choices, land consumption and land rent. This paper discusses the land use and locations of those areas and the resulting residential space allocation. It is shown that the land share dedicated to small urban green areas results from the trade-off between land value and population density and is a single peaked function of the distance to the city center. This result is confirmed by the empirical study of urban structures in the 305 largest EU cities using GIS data. This spatial pattern is shown to be robust to many measures of urban land uses.

本文研究了跨城市空间的小型城市绿地的大小和位置。小型城市绿化区提供的设施会影响住宅的选择，土地消耗和租金。本文讨论了这些区域的土地使用和位置以及由此产生的居住空间分配。结果表明，专用于城市小绿地的土地份额是土地价值与人口密度之间的折衷结果，是到市中心距离的一个峰值函数。使用GIS数据对305个欧盟最大城市的城市结构进行的实证研究证实了这一结果。事实证明，这种空间格局对许多城市土地利用测量都具有鲁棒性。
