Abstract: Urban
green spaces- basic elements in sustainable tourism and urban development.
Due to their multiple functions within the cities: landscape function,
aesthetical, sanitary, utilitary, economic, protection, educational, scientific
and social function, green spaces need to be extended, arranged and valorized in
the most efficient ways. An average value of the green space surface per
invididual has been established. Sustainable urban development involves the
execution of works on lands, premises and buildings, as well as the adoption of
social measures for the psychical and psychological confort of the population
and for a rational development and arrangement of urban areas. The tourism
potential of urban green space derives from the valorization of its biological
and aesthetical function, the harmonisation and beautification of urban
architectural complexes as well as from its specific urbanism elements.
Key - Words: green space, urbanism, planning, sustainable development,
