Abstract
FLORES-XOLOCOTZI, Ramiro. Incorporating sustainable development and governance to the management and planning of urban green areas. Frontera norte [online]. 2012, vol.24, n.48, pp.165-190. ISSN 2594-0260.
The theoretical context related to green urban areashas incorporated concepts regarding sustainable development and governance, which has resulted in the development of economic, environmental and social indicators applicable to the the management and planning of green areas. The implementation of these indicators requires the following considerations: 1) multidisciplinary conception of sustainable development; 2) particular ways of management and planning, and 3) civic participation in management and planning, although there are shortcomings that must be detected and corrected. Good management and planning will therefore depend of the technical and administrative strengths of local governments in Latin America that will permit the incorporation of sustainable and governance perspectives.
