According to the policies of the European Union, the increase of green spaces is proposed by city managers in their programmes because of their benefits on the well-being and quality of life of citizens. Urban parks can also bring economic and environmental advantages. However, the extent of new green space is limited in increasingly densely populated cities. Therefore, small green spaces isolated or, even better, connected through pedestrian zones are becoming more and more common. The city of Cáceres plans in the coming years to increase the number of green spaces, the connectivity between them and the pedestrian areas. In this sense, if different indicators for the quality of these areas are not considered, the obtained results may not be as good as expected. We believe that the sound environment is a key factor in the quality of these spaces. In this study, the situation of some green areas in the city of Cáceres is compared with that of other cities in order to quantify their quality. |
