Study of the green spaces of the southern area of the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico

Abstract

Objective: To diagnose the maintenance of green spaces in the southern zone of the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, México. Design/Methodology/Approach: An analytical-synthetic and historical methodology was used to evaluate the state of green spaces, mainly in the southern part of the city. Likewise, bibliographic techniques were used to study the importance of green spaces, their conceptualization, and the challenges that they face. Results: Providing maintenance and participating in proper management is essential for the improvement of green spaces and for the creation of an enhanced environment that provides better development for these areas in the city of Chihuahua and changes territorial development. Study Limitations/Implications: Green spaces are part of the basic public amenities of any municipality and therefore the Municipal Council is in charge of these areas; however, the ability to achieve goals is determined by individual and collective productivity or rather the lack thereof. Findings/Conclusions: Developing good management practices can provide well-kept and adequately-maintained green spaces for the inhabitants of Chihuahua.
