Abstract

The provision of urban green connector provides many opportunities and benefits to people and, indeed, to many other living creatures. An obvious example is how these green patches (or commonly known as open and green spaces) can provide opportunities for social activities such as jogging and walking, which yield intangible benefits such as improved mental and physical health. It is evidence from the literature that there is a growing awareness of the importance of open and green spaces in enhancing the quality of urban dwellers’ lives. Hence, the following four projects in this chapter explore the potential of enriching urban setting in fulfilling the urban population’s needs.
