Abstract:
The urban landscape is the result of socio-economic development and urbanization patterns which continue to have a significant impact at different scales. Minimizing the negative impacts of urbanization remains an important objective in order to achieve a sustainable development. The need of urban green areas is increasing due to the fact that many open spaces become occupied with buildings and infrastructure. Urban forests can play a crucial role in improving the quality of urban life. This study aims to assess the spatial patterns of urban forests and their relation with the urban planning process
