This paper presents the principal public open spaces and green places that have been developed since the foundation of the Mexican city of Monterrey. Throughout Monterrey´s urban transformation a dozen of public squares and green spaces were reduced or replaced to build other type of urban facilities. In the second half of the 20th century, the urban expansion results in the lack of green spaces in relation to population density. Consequently, on the 1980s several urban parks were built in the city. However, after 30 years, green spaces still being insufficient in this city.

Keywords : public open spaces; green spaces; Monterrey city; urban growth.
