Abstract: Current climatic impact on cities and individuals is going to become a bigger subject in our society.This is leading to the search for solutions to limit climate impact and to increase the livelihood of cities.The answers are sustainable instruments such as urban greening, development of public transport, energy-efficient settlements, and the offer for healthy and local food.Especially the implementation of urban greening has a special impact on local people, and on the neighbourhood, in which the green infrastructure is constructed.Poorly conceived planning processes, which do not consider the needs of people, can lead to a shift and a displacement of the residents in the neighbourhood, when urban greening contains economic and ecological sustainability, but disregards the social component.The literature calls this phenomenon "Green Gentrification"."Environmental Justice" will also be discussed in this master thesis, which is the theory that some social groups get better or worse access to ecological amenities.In my work I discuss the theory of this phenomenon, and the reasons why cities implement urban greening in their city development strategy.I also discuss, analyse and compare "Green Gentrification" in Copenhagen, Barcelona and Vienna.It shows that every city has a different approach, which lead towards diverse outcomes, but similarities are present.At the end I will show, how the planning of urban greening can encompass social, ecological and economic sustainability, that every social group can enjoy and experience.
