Public green spaces in the city of Neuquén. An approach to urban change
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of public green spaces (PGSs) in the city of Neuquén (Neuquén, Patagonia Norte, Argentina), applying established scientific indicators from the literature. Public green spaces play a significant role in shaping the environmental and social conditions of the urban structure and the quality of life of the population. The typologies, specificities, and potential uses of the PGSs have been analyzed, advancing into new expansion areas, and the role they take on in shaping a public policy-based urban model. The study has revealed a fragmented structure and configuration that does not always enable the population to coexist with such spaces. This trend has become modified over the last decade, whereby the PGSs have gained particular emphasis in the new image of the city.
