ABSTRACT

Few studies have considered greenspace governance provision from a local government perspective. This paper applies previously overlooked insights from urban planning and social research, investigate the key question: ‘how do governance factors influence the provision of greenspace in cities?’. It examines governance tools, organisational leadership and culture, and political leadership. Findings reveal the tensions between a need for certainty and a desire for flexibility, highlighting inconsistencies between planning theory and practice. Better understanding the interplay of these enablers and constraints can inform policy-making to ensure that rapidly growing cities can respond to their residents’ needs using available resources.

摘要

很少有研究从地方政府的角度考虑绿色空间治理的规定。本文运用了先前在城市规划和社会研究中被忽视的见解，研究了关键问题：“治理因素如何影响城市绿地的提供？”。它研究了治理工具，组织领导力和文化以及政治领导力。调查结果揭示了确定性需求与灵活性需求之间的紧张关系，突显了规划理论与实践之间的矛盾之处。更好地理解这些促成因素和制约因素之间的相互作用，可以为决策提供依据，以确保快速发展的城市可以使用可用资源来满足其居民的需求。
