Tool summaryName of the tool Policy on Open Space Planning Description of the tool The open space policy paper was meant to support the dynamic spatial planning and development processes, by coming after the stated goals of the spatial development program and other topic-specific programs and policy papers that are relevant for the municipality. It formed also the basis and provided the formal framework for the planners to decide on the future development of the open spaces in the overall urban context.
First steps in this direction have been taken years before, after having realized that recent developments have had massive effects on the open spaces in the city. As a consequence protective measures have been taken up into the “urban development program”, being the starting point for more stringent steps to gain advantages for the environment, the people and for the developing economy as well.
The policy includes a number of objectives which aim at nature protection and ecology, social green (accessibility and mounting), the arrangement of green spaces in the living areas and local recreation.
In addition some measurements have been defined considering the above objectives, both for the different city districts and for the whole urban area.
Furthermore the necessary instruments and strategies for implementation, what regards the relevant legal backgrounds, the required financial means, public address and participation including affirmative activities to start private and official co-operation.
