Open spaces are defined as non-built public or private green areas, which include parks, squares, gardens, pathways and natural reserves (GJMC, 1997). The role of open spaces in serving as national, local and private parks, preserves and recreational areas; archaeological preserves; urban green belts, greenways and trails, land for urban agriculture; and buffer zones to provide separation between conflicting land uses or to protect vulnerable areas was noted.
