Abstract
Examining urban green space from the perspective of morphology is an important way to perform the current practice of urban green space planning, preserve and restore the function of urban natural habitats, and maintain good spatial patterns of urban ecological environment. Based on the investigation and analysis of relevant scientific literature on urban green space morphology, we discussed the regional and temporal context and the knowledge frame of the relevant research on urban green space morphology. The frontier methods and technologies within the research category were summarized, including studies on urban green space planning, studies on urban green space pattern and urban landscape pattern, and studies on strategies, planning management, and solutions for sustainable development of urban green space. Finally, the existing problems in urban green space morphology research were discussed, and the future research directions and objectives were proposed.
Highlights
Urban green space contains or supports the corresponding natural environment system
The results demonstrated that more educated respondents engage for environmental reasons, and more low-income respondents rely on their gardens for food security, which emphasizes that the policymaking of urban sustainable development is sensitive to various motivations that resonate with a diverse population [40]
The studies on urban green space planning explore the construction of urban green space networks primarily based on principles of landscape ecology
Summary
Urban green space contains or supports the corresponding natural environment system. It is the only space entity with natural biological activity and regenerative mechanism in the urban ecosystem, which plays a significant role in alleviating the negative effects of the urban artificial environment with its ecological service function.There is no strict and accepted definition of urban green space, and the term seems to be used loosely by different researchers. Urban green space contains or supports the corresponding natural environment system. It is the only space entity with natural biological activity and regenerative mechanism in the urban ecosystem, which plays a significant role in alleviating the negative effects of the urban artificial environment with its ecological service function. In the past 30 years, the average rate of urban green space has increased from 18.9% to 30%, and the overall urban ecological environment has been substantially improved. The study of urban green space morphology at a city scale has both theoretical and practical significance for an in-depth understanding of the overall ecological and environmental functions and effects of urban natural elements and space, as well as its application in urban planning and construction
