FLORES-XOLOCOTZI, Ramiro. Green space standards in urban planning: a theoretical reflection. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.54, pp.491-522. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est002017682.

This paper is a theoretical reflection of the use of urban green surface standards used in the praxis of different urban planning models. This article shows that these standards are generally recommended in order to provide welfare to urban dwellers without considering that welfare can be defined according to the rationality paradigm in the planning model, nor does it specify the needs to be covered. In conclusion, there are theoretical-practical limitations in the use of these green surface standards in urban planning.

Keywords : cities; green spaces; rationality; sustainability; urbanism.
